Opinion was divided about the merits of the new canals.

Work on the new canal was due to begin in 2009.

In the 1950s a new canal was dug to the south of the old summit section.

The Chinese have run a chain across their new canal and no longer give access to fishermen.

It took three months to build and was used for 400 years, only being replaced in 1965 by a new canal.

The mills were built along the new canals so immediately had access to their markets.

Furthermore,Sun let people build a new canal across the kingdom.

The final cost of the new canal when it was opened on 2 January 1905 had been £300,000 shared between the two companies.
