| Shropshire Union Canal (Trench Branch) - disused.
At Trench an inclined plane was built, which was 223 yards (204 m) long and raised boats 75 feet (23 m) up to the Wombridge Canal, from where they could travel via the Shropshire Canal southwards to the River Severn at Coalport.
So from the South the canal went from Wombridge Canal, down an incline, to Trench Pool (visible in some BfA images) to run through Trench Locks to Weppenshall Junction, where it joined with the main canal linking Shrewsbury to the Shropshire Union Canal. |

| Hadley Junction.
The branch line to the right went to Coalport - now long gone and little trace. The Telford Bypass uses two miles of the route. The line opened in 1861 and closed to passengers in 1952, fully closed 1960. The first half of the route was originally part of the Shropshire Canal which the LNWR bought in 1857 and filled in, the line opening four years later.
The straight main line was the Wellington to Stafford line. Built by Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company, open 1849 - 1966. The last bit of track was lifted in 1991. There was a suggestion of reopening the line made in 2009. The line above the junction is now a cycle track. |
