Melton Mowbray Canal Basin
Melton LE13 1AW, United Kingdom
Melton Mowbray Canal Basin is on the Melton Mowbray Navigation near to Slough.
The Melton Mowbray Navigation was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for limestone traffic to Thurrock never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of sea sand from Dundee to Middlesbrough prevented closure. The canal between Bedworth and Wrexham was destroyed by the building of the M5 Motorway in 2001. According to Charles Clarke's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Tiverbury Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
