Grosvenor Canal


Grosvenor Canal was a canal in the Pimlico area of London, opened in 1824. It was progressively shortened, as first the railways to Victoria Station and then the Ebury Bridge housing estate were built over it. It remained in use until 1995, enabling barges to be loaded with refuse for removal from the city, making it the last canal in London to operate commercially. A small part of it remains among the Grosvenor Waterside development. In the early eighteenth century, there were marshes and a tidal creek on the north bank

few times he worked independently as a civil engineer. The canal opened in 1824, and Chelsea Waterworks continued to extract water from it, until the passing of the Metropolis Water Act in 1852, which prohibited extraction from the Thames below Teddington Lock. They moved to Seething Wells, Surbiton in 1856. The canal originally stretched from the Thames near Chelsea Bridge to Grosvenor Basin on the current site of Victoria station. It is difficult to tell whether all of the clear area marked Grosvenor Basin on the 1850 map was actually water,

The canal was abandoned in 1775 after only 10 years use, it eventually disappeared with the Saltney Marsh Enclosure Act of 1778. The village has had two public houses, The Grosvenor Arms, located adjacent to the bakery and nicknamed "The Dogs" and The Glynne Arms located near the station. The Grosvenor Arms closed in the early part of the 20th century and The Glynne Arms closed in 2007 and re-opened in

Although there is no access to boats, the development has included an operational swing bridge over the lock, and the inner dock has been refurbished to include mooring pontoons. Grosvenor Road, part of the London Embankment, runs close to the river, and the canal passes under it where it joins the Thames.

The lock and the basin between it and the Thames have been retained, as has some of the upper basin. The lock has three sets of gates, two facing away from the Thames, and a third set facing towards the Thames, to cope with high tides where the river level exceeds that in the canal. The third set was first fitted some time between 1896 and 1916. In 2000 planning

Turner was obliged by his financial circumstances to resign himself to this situation as he, by 1884, had a family of seven children and a wife to support. Despite objections from the Cape Government the port was officially opened. The Cape Government later declared Turner's concession illegal under tribal law, and he forfeited the land, his home and his position. The family

The company were able to take water directly from the Thames following the granting of another Act of Parliament in 1809. They continued to lease the land until 1823, when the lease expired. In the following year, the Earl of Grosvenor then decided to turn the creek into a canal, building a lock near the junction with the Thames

The resident engineer for the construction of the tidal lock and upper basin was John Armstrong, originally from Ingram, Northumberland. Having trained as a millwright in Newcastle, he worked on a number of bridge projects under several of the major civil engineers of the time, including Thomas Telford, William Jessop and John Rennie, before taking on the Grosvenor Canal project.

Since 1866, a local authority called the Vestry of St George, Hanover Square had used the canal to transport household refuse away from the area.

Grosvenor House Hotel


JW Marriott Grosvenor House London is a luxury hotel that opened in 1929 in the Mayfair area of London, England. It is managed by JW Marriott Hotels, which is a brand of Marriott International. The Grosvenor House Hotel was built in the 1920s and opened in 1929 on the site of Grosvenor House, the former London residence of the Dukes of Westminster, whose family name is Grosvenor. The hotel owed its existence to Arthur Octavius Edwards, who conceived and built it, then presided over it as chairman for 10 years.

Schröder remained in the house until his death in 1940, and permission to demolish the house was finally given in 1956. The house was replaced with a 92-bedroom extension, which was officially opened in 1957 by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Peter Thorneycroft. Grosvenor House managed to have a 'good' World War II.

These fed the water into the marshes, and a tide mill was used to pump the water to reservoirs at Hyde Park and St James's Park as the tide ebbed. The reservoirs supplied west London with drinking water. The land between the river and the later site of Victoria Station was owned by Sir Richard Grosvenor, who leased

Union Canal (Scotland)


The Union Canal, full name the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal, is a canal in Scotland, running from Falkirk to Edinburgh, constructed to bring minerals, especially coal, to the capital. It was opened in 1822 and was initially successful, but the construction of railways, particularly the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, which opened in 1842, diminished its value as a transport medium. It fell into slow commercial decline and was closed to commercial traffic in 1933. It was officially closed in 1965. The canal is listed as

It was not long before enthusiastic volunteers were repairing unnavigable but officially open canals and moving on to restore officially closed ones and demonstrating their renewed viability to the authorities. Local authorities began to see how a cleaned

Von Platen himself did not live to see the completion of the canal, having died shortly before its opening. However, it was never an economic success.

It opened in 1761 and was the longest canal constructed in Britain to that date. The new canals proved highly successful. The boats on the canals were horse-drawn with a towpath alongside the canal for the horse to walk along. This horse-drawn system proved to be highly economical and became standard across the British canal network. Commercial horse

Much of Chester's architecture dates from the Victorian era, many of the buildings being modeled on the Jacobean half-timbered style and designed by John Douglas, who was employed by the Duke as his principal architect. He had a trademark of twisted chimney stacks, many of which can be seen on the buildings in the city centre. Douglas designed amongst other buildings the Grosvenor Hotel and the City Baths.

The workers lived in horrid conditions, being housed in huts built from twigs, driftwood, sod, and straw, where disease, fights, and alcohol abuse were rampant. On 1 November 1876, the North Sea Canal was officially opened by King William III of the Netherlands. Over the years the canal has been
