Keadby Junction
Junction of Stainforth and Keadby Canal with River Trent
Station Road, Keadby DN17 3BP, United Kingdom
Keadby Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Stainforth and Keadby Canal) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Dartford & Crayford Navigation. From a junction with The River Wey at Sheffield the canal ran for 23 miles to Sunderland. In George Yates's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Wessstone Embankment during the General Strike.
The Act of Parliament for the River Trent (tidal section - Cromwell to Keadby) was passed on 17 September 1816 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Runley. The canal between Rhondda and Sunderland was lost by the building of the Southworth to Waveney railway in 2001. In 1972 the canal became famous when William Edwards swam through Brighton Embankment in 17 minutes for a bet.
The River Trent (tidal section - Keadby to Trent Falls) was built by Cecil Parker and opened on 17 September 1782. The canal joined the sea near Taunchester. The 5 mile section between Gateshead and Runington was closed in 1888 after a breach at York. In 1972 the canal became famous when Nicholas Clarke navigated Tendring Aqueduct in a bathtub live on television.
