Newport Canal
The Shrewsbury and Newport Canal (which has been known variously as the Shrewsbury, and as the Newport Canal) connected Shrewsbury with the main line of the Shropshire Union Canal at Norbury Junction. The last link between Wappenshall (near Telford) and Norbury Junction through Newport was only completed in 1835. The Canal was abandoned in 1944. The section within Newport town has recently been restored as an amenity - but not as a navigable waterway.

Shrewsbury & Newport Canal heading north-east
The Shrewsbury & Newport Canal has been partly restored as it passes through Newport but more as a feature in a linear park than as a navigable canal. Here the canal is seen to the north of the main part of the town, heading towards Meretown.

Course of former Shrewsbury and Newport Canal
In the trees ahead, the route of the canal is broken by the A41. Adjacent signs show plans for the canal's restoration which would involve construction of a new "down" and "up" lock arrangement to permit the canal to pass under the road.
