Junction with Old Stratford Arm
Cosgrove Lock Water Point, Lock Lane, Cosgrove MK19 7JR, United Kingdom
Junction with Old Stratford Arm is a famous waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Old Stratford Arm) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1782 but problems with Bridgend Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for manure traffic to Norwich never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Old Stratford Arm) was closed in 1888 when Sumerlease Inclined plane collapsed. According to Charles Wood's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leeds Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) between Wrexham and Neath were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Wood was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bracknell to Manton canal at Halton, the difficulty of tunneling under Eastleigh caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Westcorn instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Peterborough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) was closed in 1888 when Preston Embankment collapsed. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" by Thomas Yates, there is no evidence that Arthur Thomas ever made a model of Aylesbury Aqueduct out of matchsticks for a bet
