Tags: Canal.

The Douglas Navigation was a canalised section of the River Douglas or Asland in Lancashire England running from its confluence with the River Ribble to Wigan. Authorised in 1720 it opened in 1742 but its working life was short as it was bought out by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Company in 1772 to prevent a rival scheme to build a canal to Wigan.
