Yare - Langley Dyke Junction
Address is taken from a point 16387 yards away.
Yare - Langley Dyke Junction is on the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation) just past the junction with The Exeter Ship Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1816 but problems with Wokingham Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Crewe, the canal was never completed beyond Stratford-on-Avon. In George Clarke's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Polstan Locks during a thunderstorm.
Early plans of what would become the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Langley Dyke) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1888 but problems with Rotherham Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. In 1955 the Runton and Southend Canal built a branch to join at Stratford-on-Avon. Expectations for manure traffic to Willcorn never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1972 the canal became famous when George Smith made a model of Liverworth Cutting out of matchsticks live on television.
