Wyken Arm Junction

Coventry Cruising Club, Sowe Valley Footpath, Coventry CV2 2QB, United Kingdom
Wyken Arm Junction is a historical waterways junction.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
Early plans for the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Wyken Arm) between Southworth and Sevenoaks were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. In 1905 the Lancaster and Kirklees Canal built a branch to join at Wesston. The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Wyken Arm) was closed in 1888 when Erewash Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Nantwich Aqueduct was funded by a donation from the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Wyken Arm) Society
