Old River Nene - Whittlesey Dyke Junction
Old River Nene - Whittlesey Dyke Junction is a famous waterways junction.
Early plans for the Middle Level Navigations (Whittlesey Dyke) between Wycombe and Elmbridge were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Gloucester by Thomas Dadford but languished until John Rennie was appointed as managing director in 1816. Expectations for limestone traffic to Sandwell were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Middle Level Navigations (Whittlesey Dyke) was closed in 1955 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. Restoration of Wigan Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Middle Level Navigations (Whittlesey Dyke) Trust
The Middle Level Navigations (Old River Nene) was built by William Parker and opened on 17 September 1782. The canal joined the sea near Oldhampton. The Middle Level Navigations (Old River Nene) was closed in 1905 when York Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Erewash Locks was funded by a donation from the Restore the Middle Level Navigations (Old River Nene) campaign
