Rye House Junction
Rye House Junction is a complicated waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee) was passed on 17 September 1888 the same day as that of The Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Expectations for iron traffic to Northcorn never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1972 the canal became famous when Cecil Wood made a model of Runton Tunnel out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Barbury Aqueduct.
The Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Presbury, the canal was never completed beyond Derby. In Cecil Wright's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Teignbridge Aqueduct during the war.
