A 1.43km length of the Ellesmere Canal and associated features at Chirk Bank is a section of an important late eighteenth-century inland waterway located in Shropshire, England. The canal was constructed as part of the Ellesmere Canal scheme, which commenced in the 1790s and represented a significant investment in transport infrastructure during the Industrial Revolution. This designated length preserves part of the canal's original course together with related structures typical of late Georgian canal engineering. The site reflects the pivotal role such waterways played in facilitating the movement of goods and raw materials during the industrialisation of the English Midlands.
