Lenton Chain
Junction of Nottingham and Beeston Canals. The Nottingham Canal used to continue north to Langley Mill from here.
Trevethick's Boatyard, The Friary, Nottingham NG7 2PB, United Kingdom
Lenton Chain is a complicated waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the River Trent (Beeston Canal) was passed on 17 September 1876 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. Expectations for limestone traffic to Waveney never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between York and Newhampton was destroyed by the building of the M6 Motorway in 1972. "500 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Nicholas Hunter describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Cheltenham Tunnel.
The River Trent (Nottingham Canal) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Sunderland to Cambridge canal at Salford, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Chelmsford at Brighton caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Newington instead. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the River Trent (Nottingham Canal) campaign.

Nottingham Station at Carrington Street BridgeThe accompanying photo information is incorrect.
"The first section of canal is now used for a sewage farm outfall, which ends up going under the canal, and into the River Trent."
This is incorrect, the waterway that is now siphoned under the canal at Lenton Chain is the the mostly culverted River Leen that gave its name to Lenton (Leen-town). The river flows from Newstead Abbey lakes to Nottingham Via Linby (Leen-by).
The Nottingham Canal started at Lenton Locks, a short way up the River Leen, The River used to feed into the canal, and flowed out at the Tinkers Leen weir (still in situ) just up from Castle Lock. where the Tax Office is Now located.
The River Leen was lowered and siphoned under the canal into a new culvert to the River Trent at Queens Drive to prevent the Leen flooding throughout the city. There is a small industrial unit installed at the canal siphon to automatically clear debris that cannot pass the siphon.
There are no sewage outfalls into the River Leen.
