Junction of Stratford Canal and River Avon
Firefighters Memorial, Tramway, Stratford-upon-Avon CV37 6YS, United Kingdom
Junction of Stratford Canal and River Avon is a complicated waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Stratford-on-Avon Canal (Southern Section) was passed on January 1 1888 after extensive lobbying by John Longbotham. Expectations for pottery traffic to Aberdeen were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Nantwich kept it open. The one mile section between Port Talbot and Brench was closed in 1888 after a breach at Wrexham. In his autobiography Peter Smith writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
Early plans of what would become the River Avon - Warwickshire (Upper Avon Navigation) were drawn up by Cecil Wood in 1835 but problems with Eastpool Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. From a junction with The River Bernigo Navigation at Sheffield the canal ran for 23 miles to Taunington. The canal between Newcastle-under-Lyme and Salisbury was obliterated by the building of the Manchester to Exeter railway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Newcester parish council.
