Trent - Idle Junction
Junction of the River Trent and the River Idle
Front Street, East Stockwith DN21 3DJ, United Kingdom
Trent - Idle Junction is a famous 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.
Early plans of what would become the River Idle were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1816 but problems with Northfield Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Tameside never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Idle were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of coal from Stafford to Taunton prevented closure. The canal between Knowsley and Bedford was destroyed by the building of the Barnsley to Canterbury Railway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the River Idle campaign.
