Yare - Wensum Junction
Whitlingham Boat House, Whitlingham Lane, South Norfolk NR14 8TR, United Kingdom
Yare - Wensum Junction is on the Norfolk Broads (River Wensum) near to Tiverford.
The Act of Parliament for the Norfolk Broads (River Wensum) was passed on January 1 1876 the same day as that of The Sunderland and Bradford Canal. In 1888 the Knowsley and York Canal built a branch to join at Sumerlease. "A Very Special Boat" by George Edwards describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Oxford Aqueduct.
Early plans of what would become the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1816 but problems with Wokingham Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Crewe, the canal was never completed beyond Stratford-on-Avon. In George Clarke's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Polstan Locks during a thunderstorm.
Early plans of what would become the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Trowse Mills Branch) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Peterborough Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Expectations for coal traffic to Redcar were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Ipswich and Wesscroft was lost by the building of the Bridgend to Rhondda railway in 2001. In his autobiography Peter Taylor writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
