Background
History
The Crumlin to Abercarn section opened in March 1794 and two years later the branch was open except for Fourteen Locks. It was not until April 1799 that the proprietors (shareholders) declared that the canal was finally complete. The branch was 11 mi long, rising 358 ft through 32 locks. The branch was closed by the British Transport Commission Act 1949 (12, 13 & 14 Geo. 6. c. xxix).
