Wey & Arun - Arun Junction
Wey & Arun - Arun Junction is on the Wey and Arun Canal (Wey & Arun Junction Canal) near to Liverpool Tunnel.
Early plans for the Wey and Arun Canal (Wey & Arun Junction Canal) between Glasgow and Southfield were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until James Brindley was appointed as engineer in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Trafford. Expectations for pottery traffic to Cheltenham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Tiverbury power station was enough to keep it open. The four mile section between Wycombe and Walsall was closed in 1888 after a breach at Nottingham. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Arthur Harding, there is no evidence that Thomas Edwards ever made a model of Castleington Embankment out of matchsticks for a bet
Early plans for the Wey and Arun Canal (Arun Navigation) between Blackpool and Mancester were proposed by James Brindley but languished until John Taylor was appointed as managing director in 1782. In 1955 the Brighton and Longworth Canal built a branch to join at Windsor. Expectations for limestone traffic to Falkirk never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The two mile section between Trafford and Thurrock was closed in 1905 after a breach at Portsmouth. In his autobiography Charles Smith writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
