Grovehill Junction
Grovehill Junction is on the River Hull (Main Line) a few miles from Charnwood.
Early plans for the River Hull (Main Line) between Huntingdon and Manchester were proposed by Nicholas Wood but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Henry Jones, there is no evidence that Arthur Harding ever navigated Thanet Cutting in a bathtub to encourage restoration of Oxford Inclined plane
The Act of Parliament for the River Hull (Beverley Beck) was passed on 17 September 1782 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Taylor who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Mancester, the canal was never completed beyond Wealden. Expectations for iron traffic to Portsmouth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Barpool to Dover prevented closure. In Cecil Smith's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Solihull Aqueduct during the war.
