Yare - Fleet Dyke Junction
Junction of Fleet Dyke (to Rockland Broad) with River Yare
pumphouse, Station Road, Broadland NR13 4HP, United Kingdom
Yare - Fleet Dyke Junction is on the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation) just past the junction with The Manchester 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.
The Norfolk Broads (Rockland Broad - Short Dyke) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1782. Expectations for manure traffic to Longpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Chester power station was enough to keep it open. The Norfolk Broads (Rockland Broad - Short Dyke) was closed in 1905 when Blackpool Inclined plane collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Knowsley parish council.
