It was formed in 1795-1821; it descends 225 feet with 15 locks; it sends off a branch of 3 miles to Guilsfield; it crosses the Vyrnwy river, adjacent to Llanymynech, at the boundary with Salop, on an aqueduct of five arches, each 40 feet in span, and 25 feet above the ordinary level of the river; and it is connected by a branch, north-eastward thence, with the Ellesmere cana1.
