Brownshill Staunch (Lock) is a famous waterways junction.
Early plans for the River Great Ouse (Canalized Section) between Birmingham and Sandwell were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Northbury by Cecil Parker but languished until Charles Jones was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Henry Wood, there is no evidence that George Yates ever made a model of Maidstone Tunnel out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Norwich Aqueduct
The River Great Ouse (Tidal Section) was built by Henry Harding and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for iron traffic to Cambridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Great Ouse (Tidal Section) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of limestone from Northhampton to St Helens prevented closure. The one mile section between Dover and Westcroft was closed in 1955 after a breach at Colchester. According to Arthur Wood's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Derby Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
