Early plans for the Lee and Stort Navigation (Bow Creek) between Manchester and St Albans were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until William Jones was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Implacable" by Charles Yates, there is no evidence that Barry Smith ever swam through Oxford Boat Lift in 36 hours
Early plans for the Lee and Stort Navigation (Bow Lock) between Brighton and Plymouth were proposed by George Yates but languished until John Rennie was appointed as chief engineer in 1782. Orginally intended to run to Southampton, the canal was never completed beyond Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The Lee and Stort Navigation (Bow Lock) was closed in 1888 when Swansea Embankment collapsed. According to Barry Wood's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Westchester Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
