Thanks Richard

Hi Chris

I have some additional lost loops of the original Oxford Canal line that could be added to your map.  Would you be interested in seeing them?

Is your map available in a form that can be handled by QGIS?

Kind regards

Mike

More info on Oxford loops would be useful thanks I only mapped those I could find on old maps.

my map is in Google Earth kml format I don't know if that is QGIS compatible.

Lee & Stort Navigations now updated.

Gloucester & Sharpness Canal next.

I've started the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal but if anyone wants me to update a particular waterway please let me know.

I have a KML somewhere of the Wyrley bank branch and Essington branch, will the project stay open source?

 

Yes I'm happy for anyone to have a copy of the KML, but I'm the only one who can upload it to Canalmaponline.

Working on the Gloucester &N (Berkely) Sharpness canal now.

I'll try and find my KML out and send it to you, its beena  while since I made it so its going to be on some old drive somewhere.

thanks

I've attached the latest version of my full file.

Gloucester & Sharpness Canal now updated on the map.

I'm working on the Llangollen canal now so if anyone has any suggestions of things to add.

Does anyone have any information on the very short lived Pen Clawdd canal in South Wales?

Google search brings up more than 7 results!
Including a book, photographs and a reference from CaRT.

Old maps show some trace near Pont-y-Cob:

 - and a little further West: Trace the railway to the tin plate works.

Thanks 

I have that book on order, and nls maps have been very helpfull I use that site all the time.

I've attached a google earth kmz of what I think was the course if anyone wants to have a look.

Just finished adding features to the Llangollen canal and Montgomery canal, also added the River Sow and the Staffordshire river link this will be uploaded shortly.

Thank you, can you remind me what your policy is on whether waterways are navigable? There are quite a few on the Fens section of your map that are no longer navigable. 

I'm trying to map all of our UK and Irish waterways that are currently navigable and also those that used to be navigable, and that includes both canal and river navigations.

 

I've had some particularly challenging former navigations to map as there are a good number that closed before OS got started mapping.

Thanks, a great task!  You do need to add the relief channel north of Denver Sluice, to (I think) the last bridge before the sluice at the north end., Wiggenhall St Germans.

Thanks I had noticed the lock going into the relief channel but wasn't sure how far it is navigable.

 

I've now updated the River Cam and the Cambridgeshire Lodes.

You could also add a bit more to the SW corner of the Middle Level, eg New Dyke is navigable as far as the railway, just to the south of Holme.

Are Monks Lode and Great Ravelley Drain navigable as they are shown on the attached map?
