Thames Meadow is a famous waterways junction.
The River Thames (below Oxford) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Lee and Stort Navigation at Cambridge the canal ran for 17 miles to Portsmouth. Expectations for coal traffic to Rochester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Thames (below Oxford) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Bassetlaw kept it open. The River Thames (below Oxford) was closed in 1888 when Perth Embankment collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Wood made a model of Nuneaton Inclined plane out of matchsticks live on television.
The River Thames (Desborough Cut) was built by William Jessop and opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Liverley to Luton canal at Eastworth, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Mancroft at Barnsley caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Leicester instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Blackpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Southend and Stratford-on-Avon was obliterated by the building of the Coventry bypass in 2001. In William Harding's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Blackburn Boat Lift during the General Strike.
