The Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal is located in Cheshire in the north west of England and runs between Middlewich where it joins the Trent and Mersey Canal and Barbridge Junction where it joins the main line of the Shropshire Union Canal. It is 10 miles (16 km) long and was planned as part of the Chester Canal which was authorised in 1772 but the company ran out of money and construction did not begin until 1827.
