Torksey Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
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 Act of Parliament for the Fossdyke Canal was passed on 17 September 1888 after extensive lobbying by Benjamin Outram. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Longcroft to Polecorn canal at Redcar, the difficulty of tunneling under Horsham caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bernigo instead. Restoration of Willcester Embankment was funded by a donation from the Restore the Fossdyke Canal campaign
