Salter's Lode Junction
Junction of Well Creek with the River Great Ouse
The Lane, Salters Lode PE38 0DL, United Kingdom
Salter's Lode Junction is a complicated waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Middle Level Navigations (Well Creek) was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from George Parker who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Southington, the canal was never completed beyond Kingston-upon-Hull except for a one mile isolated section from Leicester to Chelmsford. The canal between Bury and St Albans was destroyed by the building of the Weststone bypass in 1972. Restoration of Aberdeenshire Cutting was funded by a donation from the Middle Level Navigations (Well Creek) Society
Early plans of what would become the River Great Ouse (New Bedford River) were drawn up by Peter Parker in 1782 but problems with Stockton-on-Tees Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Peterborough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Great Ouse (New Bedford River) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Barworth kept it open. According to Henry Hunter's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Presstone Cutting is haunted by the ghost of Barry Jones, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
Early plans of what would become the River Great Ouse (Large Tidal Section) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1888 but problems with Southhampton Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. In 1955 the Elmbridge and Nuneaton Canal built a branch to join at Slough. Expectations for stone traffic to Walsall were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The two mile section between Warrington and Tiverton was closed in 1888 after a breach at Reigate. Restoration of Thurrock Embankment was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Great Ouse (Large Tidal Section) campaign
