Slough Arm (Grand Union Canal)

The Slough Arm is a short canal branch from the Grand Union Main Line to Slough in Berkshire.

This five mile long branch opened in 1882 to serve the brick-making industry. The last commercial traffic was carried in 1960, but as the plans to fill it in were opposed locally, the stretch was re-opened in 1975 and has remained in use since.
