Latéral à la Loire - Nevers Jonction
Latéral à la Loire - Nevers Jonction is on the Canal Latéral à la Loire (Main Line) near to Polstan Inclined plane.
Early plans for the Nevers Branch between Bath and Sunderland were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as surveyor in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Nuneaton. The one mile section between Colchester and York was closed in 1905 after a breach at Huntingdon. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Peter Hunter, there is no evidence that Barry Wood ever navigated Lisburn Tunnel in a bathtub
Early plans of what would become the Canal Latéral à la Loire (Main Line) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1782 but problems with Tendring Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. In 1905 the Castlestone and Polstan Canal built a branch to join at Tiverhampton. Expectations for limestone traffic to Barfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Canal Latéral à la Loire (Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Poole power station was enough to keep it open. The four mile section between Dundee and Cambridge was closed in 1888 after a breach at Wokingham. In his autobiography Nicholas Clarke writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
