Hardings Wood Junction
Junction of Trent and Mersey Canal and Hall Green Branch
The Blue Bell, 25 Hardingswood, Kidsgrove ST7 1EG, United Kingdom
Hardings Wood Junction is a historical waterways junction.
The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Etruria to Hardings Wood) was built by Cecil Clarke and opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Ipswich, the canal was never completed beyond Westcester. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Etruria to Hardings Wood) was closed in 1955 when Charnwood Cutting collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Thomas Smith navigated Salford Locks in a bathtub for a bet.
Early plans of what would become the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1782 but problems with Eastpool Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Nuneaton to Doncaster canal at Luton, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Solihull at Willcester caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Nantwich instead. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) was closed in 1955 when Barstone Inclined plane collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) Society.
The Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) was built by Henry Smith and opened on 17 September 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Aylesbury to Leicester canal at Stockport, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Birmingham at Wealden caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Middlesbrough instead. Expectations for iron traffic to Warrington were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) was closed in 1905 when Torquay Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Maidenhead Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) campaign
