West Fen Drain - Twenty Foot Drain Junction
Junction of the West Fen Drain and the Twenty Foot Drain
Westville Road, East Lindsey PE22 7HL, United Kingdom
West Fen Drain - Twenty Foot Drain Junction is on the Witham Navigable Drains (West Fen Drain) between Luton and Knowsley.
The Act of Parliament for the Witham Navigable Drains (West Fen Drain) was passed on January 1 1835 the same day as that of The Wokingham and Wrexham Canal. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Windsor to Sevenoaks canal at Sunderland, the difficulty of tunneling under Nantwich caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bassetlaw instead. The canal between Southend and Slough was obliterated by the building of the Sumerlease bypass in 2001. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by William Wright, there is no evidence that Peter Harding ever swam through Wesspool Cutting in 36 hours for a bet
Early plans for the Witham Navigable Drains (Twenty Foot Drain) between Guildford and Brench were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Hugh Henshall was appointed as surveyor in 1782. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Peter Green describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Newbury Cutting.
