In order to transport it to the furnaces at Donnington Wood, William Reynolds started to build a tub-boat canal in 1787. It was completed in 1788, at a cost of £1,640 and was long, connecting with both the furnaces and the Donnington Wood Canal.〔(Discovering Shropshires History CCS:MSA2199 )〕 A curious feature of the canal was the tunnel which was constructed near to the church. There is no obvious reason for it, and it has been suggested that it was built to placate a local landowner.〔(Oakengates History )〕 Another feature was an iron bridge, built in sections, which carried Teague's Bridge Lane over the canal.〔('Wombridge: Communications', A History of the County of Shropshire: Volume 11: Telford (1985), pp. 284–285 )〕 In 1792, an Act of Parliament created the Shrewsbury Canal Company, with powers to build a canal from Wombridge to Shrewsbury. The company bought of the canal at a cost of £840. Although this price was considerably less than the cost of construction, Reynolds was both a shareholder and a director of the new company, and the Act specifically waived any tolls for his own internal traffic.〔 The new company constructed an inclined plane, to transport tub boats from the level of the Wombridge canal, down to that of the Shrewsbury canal. It was long, with a fall of . It consisted of twin railway tracks, each with a cradle in which a single tub-boat was carried. Power was provided by an engine supplied by the Coalbrookdale Company. This was replaced in 1842 by a new engine that lasted for 79 years, until the final demise of the incline on 31 August 1921. Most of the working traffic was in the downward direction of the incline, and was counterbalanced by empty tub-boats returning up to the top level.〔(Discovering Shropshires History CCS:MSA2197 )〕 The inclined plane was the last operational canal plane in the country.〔Michael E.
