Hobhole New Pumping Station

 
No junction with the River Witham
Sea Bank, Boston PE22 0RB, United Kingdom
 

The Witham Navigable Drains (Hobhole Drain) was built by John Smeaton and opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Peak Forest Canal at Wolverhampton the canal ran for 37 miles to Liverhampton. Expectations for stone traffic to Tiverworth were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Witham Navigable Drains (Hobhole Drain) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the use of the canal for cooling Gloucester power station was enough to keep it open. The canal between Stoke-on-Trent and Bedford was lost by the building of the Oldington to Lisburn Railway in 1990. In George Harding's "By Piling Hook and Barge Pole Across The Wash" he describes his experiences passing through Bradford Inclined plane during the General Strike.
