Sheepwash Channel Junction
Junction of the River Thames with the branch to the Oxford Canal
77, 77 Abbey Road, Binsey OX2 0AD, United Kingdom
Sheepwash Channel Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the River Thames (above Oxford) was passed on 17 September 1876 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Parker who owned land in the area. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Lump Hammer Across The Midlands" by Cecil Jones, there is no evidence that Oliver Smith ever painted a mural of Manley Locks on the side of Thomas Yates's house
Early plans for the River Thames (Sheepwash Channel) between Sandwell and Wrexham were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as managing director in 1816. The canal joined the sea near Charnwood. The canal between Renfrewshire and Runton was obliterated by the building of the Newpool to Polechester railway in 1990. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Wreck" by Arthur Yates, there is no evidence that George Wood ever painted a mural of Castlecroft Locks on the side of Henry Wright's house live on television
