Question: What year did the canal along the northern border of Appleton open?
Context: Appleton is a civil parish in the Borough of Warrington, Cheshire, England.  It contains 25 buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated listed buildings.  The parish is partly residential, including the village of Appleton Thorn, and is otherwise mainly rural.  The Bridgewater Canal runs along its northern border, the A49 road is to the west, and the M6 motorway is to the east.

The exceptions to this are the village church, a war memorial, an obelisk, and a Medieval cross base.

The Towpath parallels the Manayunk Canal and the Schuylkill River.  The Towpath is accessible from Fairmount Park to the East and from the Schuylkill River Trail to the West.  As the Towpath runs through heavy industry and rural-like settings, its surface varies between boardwalk, gravel, and pavement.  This makes the Towpath ideal for running, walking, and cycling.  Fishing in the Schuylkill Canal along the Manayunk Towpath is a favorite past time for visitors and residents alike. The South Hadley Canal was a canal along the Connecticut River in South Hadley, Massachusetts.  It is said to be the earliest navigable canal in the United States, with operation commencing in 1795.

ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Appleton, formerly "Appleton Medical Center" (1984-2015), and "Appleton Memorial Hospital" (1958-1984), serves the northern side of the city of Appleton, Wisconsin.  The hospital was chartered by the State of Wisconsin in 1949.  After a 12-year fundraising effort, Appleton Memorial Hospital opened in 1958.  The hospital was renamed Appleton Medical Center in 1984.  In 1987, this hospital merged financially with ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah to form the Novus Health Group, now called ThedaCare. The Bridgewater Canal connects Runcorn, Manchester and Leigh, in North West England.

The Sava (] , ] , ) is a river in Central and Southeastern Europe, a right tributary of the Danube.  It flows through Slovenia, Croatia, along the northern border of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and through Serbia, discharging into the Danube in Belgrade.  Its central part is a natural border of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia.  The Sava forms the northern border of the Balkan Peninsula, and the southern edge of the Pannonian Plain. The Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal between Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, and Havre de Grace, Maryland, at the head of Chesapeake Bay, provided an interstate shipping alternative to 19th-century arks, rafts, and boats plying the difficult waters of the lower Susquehanna River.  Built between 1836 and 1840, it ran 43 mi along the west bank of the river and rendered obsolete an older, shorter canal along the east bank.  Of its total length, 30 mi were in Pennsylvania and 13 mi in Maryland.  Though rivalry between Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore, Maryland, delayed its construction, the finished canal brought increased shipments of coal and other raw materials to both cities from Pennsylvania's interior.  Competition from railroads was a large factor in the canal's decline after 1855.  Canal remnants, including a lock keeper's house, have been preserved in Maryland, and locks 12 and 15 have been preserved in Pennsylvania.  A copy of a detailed survey blueprint of the entire canal system including structures and property ownership details was donated (date unknown) by the Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation to Millersville University (assessed on 10/06/2016 in the MU Archives at Sp.  Coll.  Map 386.409748 S128 Folio).  The survey consists of 67 pages, 98 x 30 cm.  and is undated but the assumption is the original was created while the canal was in use.
