By 29 May 1649, a few months after the King's execution, they had succeeded; an Act of Parliament(later known as“The Pretended Act”) restored them to the undertaking and gave their claim to the enclosures the force of law.
The canal company remained hopeful of a link between the two canals, but all hope of this was lost when on 21 June 1819 an Act of Parliament was enacted to create a link between the Leigh extension of the Bridgewater Canal, and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
The original financiers- now headed by Bedford's heir William- began to seek an Act of Parliament to overturn the King's takeover of their project and to gain restoration of all of the 95,000 acres(380 km2) first awarded in January 1630/31.
The new company obtained an Act of Parliament on 26 August 1889, creating the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation Company, which was authorised to raise £1.5 million and to purchase the four canals either by negotiation, or by compulsory purchase if after nine months negotiations with the railway company had failed to reach an agreement.
Negotiations with a number of interested parties took place, and having given an assurance that it would not be converted into a railway to the Great Western Railway, an Act of Parliament was obtained in 1895, which formed a Trust with powers to raise £15,000.
