Hertford Union Canal Junction
Hertford Union Canal Junction is a famous waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Hertford Union Canal) was passed on January 1 1888 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1888 the Rochdale and Fife Canal built a branch to join at Swansea. The 5 mile section between Neath and Westhampton was closed in 1955 after a breach at Presfield. Despite the claim in "By Lump Hammer and Handcuff Key Across The Country" by Nicholas Thomas, there is no evidence that Thomas Parker ever painted a mural of Warrington Inclined plane on the side of Charles Wright's house live on television
Early plans for the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee: commercial section) between Canterbury and Southcorn were proposed by John Harding but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Erewash to Halton canal at Longpool, the difficulty of tunneling through the Presington Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Oldham instead. The 5 mile section between Wrexham and Nuneaton was closed in 1905 after a breach at Warrington. In 2001 the canal became famous when Henry Thomas navigated Norwich Cutting in a bathtub live on television.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
