Older Canal names

England: Canals and Waterways Team
Before 1929 or thereabouts, what we now know as the Grand Union Canal had different names. The Warwick and Birmingham Canal ran from Digbeth Basin in Birmingham to Warwick, and just before it's terminus, the Warwick and Napton Canal joined on it's northern side and ran to Napton Junction on the Oxford Canal.

Warwick Canals
Warwick & Birmingham and Warwick & Napton Canals.

The Oxford Canal ran past Napton Junction on it's way between Oxford and Coventry, and at Braunston junction met the Grand Junction Canal which took over the southwards journey from there to Brentford and the Thames. These canals should therefore have those category names which will be created when necessary.
