The Shrewsbury Canal (or Shrewsbury and Newport Canal) was a canal in Shropshire, England. Authorised in 1793, the main line from Trench to Shrewsbury was fully open by 1797, but it remained isolated from the rest of the canal network until 1835, when the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal built the Newport Branch from Norbury Junction to a new junction with the Shrewsbury Canal at Wappenshall. After ownership passed to a series of railway companies, the canal was officially abandoned in 1944; many sections have disappeared, though some bridges and other structures can still be found. There is an active campaign to preserve the remnants of the canal and to restore the Norbury to Shrewsbury line to navigation.

  • قناة شروزبري أو قناة شروزبري ونيوبورت (بالإنجليزية: Shrewsbury Canal) قناة ملاحية سابقة كانت تقع في شروبشاير، إنجلترا. تم البدأ بتشغيها في عام 1793، كما كان الخط الرئيسي الممتد من ترنش إلى شروزبري مفتوح بالكامل بحلول 1797، لكنها بقيت معزولة عن بقية شبكة القناة حتى 1835، عندما تم تشييد مفرق قناة برمنغهام وليفربول. وقد تم بناء قناة ملاحية معلقة من الحديد المصبوب في قرية لونغدن على في عام 1796، وهي من تصميم المهندس توماس تيلفورد. تم التخلي عن القناة رسميّا في عام 1944، بعد أن اُقرت الملكية إلى سلسلة من شركات السكك الحديدية. وقد اختفى العديد من الأقسام، على الرغم من وجود بعض الجسور وغيرها من الهياكل. أما اليوم، فهناك حملة نشطة للحفاظ على بقايا القناة.
