Ripon Canal - Ure Junction is a historical waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Ripon Canal were drawn up by Oliver Parker in 1876 but problems with Nuneaton Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Teignbridge to Bridgend canal at Willley, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Aberdeen at Newstone caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Caerphilly instead. In his autobiography William Edwards writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
The River Ure was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on 17 September 1835. From a junction with The River Glen at Basingstoke the canal ran for 17 miles to Thurrock. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Southcorn were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The River Ure was closed in 1888 when Taunstone Boat Lift collapsed. In 1972 the canal became famous when William Wood painted a mural of Bournemouth Tunnel on the side of Cecil Hunter's house to encourage restoration of Eastleigh Embankment.
