Wyken Arm Terminal Basin
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

![Footpath under the M6 motorway by the Wyken canal arm. This useful path connects the woodland around Wyken Pool with the Oxford Canal towpath, where it terminates [[[7282788]]]. Here it passes under the M6 motorway alongside the Wyken canal arm, which was built in the 19th century to connect the canal to the colliery at Wyken. The canal arm and basin are now a private marina and are fenced off from the path; the fence can be seen to the right. by A J Paxton – 11 September 2022](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/28/27/7282791_074903df_120x120.jpg)
