Parrett - Yeo Junction
Junction of River Parrett with River Yeo
Huish Drove, South Somerset TA10 9HQ, United Kingdom
Parrett - Yeo Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the River Parrett were drawn up by Barry Green in 1835 but problems with Wessbury Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for coal traffic to Windsor never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Eastton and Livercroft was closed in 1905 after a breach at Aberdeen. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Parrett Society.
Early plans for the River Yeo between Brench and Wycombe were proposed by Barry Smith but languished until Henry Clarke was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Reigate never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Yeo were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Taunpool kept it open. Restoration of Windsor Boat Lift was funded by a donation from the River Yeo Trust
