The Ellesmere Canal was intended to link the River Mersey at Netherpool (now known as Ellesmere Port) with the River Dee, and from there via Overton (south of Wrexham) to the River Severn at Shrewsbury. The route included a high level crossing over the Dee at Pontcysyllte, and a tunnel and aqueduct near Chirk.Work commenced in 1795, but the canal was never finished as intended, and the central section was only built from Trevor Basin to Weston Lullingfields, via Lower Frankton. Instead the centre section was extended westwards from Trevor, through Llangollen to Horseshoe Falls, a weir on the River Dee, as a navigable feeder. The canal was extended also eastwards from Frankton Junction via Ellesmere and Whitchurch to Hurleston Junction near Nantwich, on the then rival Chester Canal.The Ellesmere Canal eventually became part of the Shropshire Union Canal network, in 1846.

We do not compromise on material costs - our canvas is imported from the USA, and prepared in London, England. Reproduction prints come on titanum primed genuine artist's canvas. They are waterproof and archival, reproducing excellent fine details and color. Overall canvas size is 16.54" by 11.69" (420mm by 297mm), and image size is slightly smaller to account for an approximate one inch border. Canvases come unframed and unmounted, and although they may be stretched, this is not at all necessary. These exquisite canvases are suited to traditional framing, and look great with or without glass, depending on personal preference.
