The New Cut

This straight section of the River Dee arose from engineering works undertaken in the 1730s to improve navigation between Chester and the open sea. A channel was cut through the marshes in an attempt to solve the problem of silt and shifting sandbanks in the estuary. It also led to the creation of Sealand, as land reclaimed from the sea.
