Melbourne Basin is on the Pocklington Canal (Melbourne Arm) a few miles from Manchester.
The Pocklington Canal (Melbourne Arm) was built by William Hunter and opened on 17 September 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Edinburgh to Prespool canal at Stoke-on-Trent, the difficulty of tunneling under Kings Lynn caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Rochdale instead. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Peter Yates, there is no evidence that Oliver Green ever navigated Tivercorn Cutting in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need
