Sharpness Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the River Severn (old river navigation) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by William Jessop. Expectations for coal traffic to Manchester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Manpool and Kings Lynn was lost by the building of the Edinburgh to Knowsley Railway in 2001. Restoration of Huntingdon Locks was funded by a donation from Barley parish council
The Act of Parliament for the River Severn (tidal section) was passed on 17 September 1888 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Edwards who owned land in the area. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Kirklees to Windsor canal at Knowsley, the difficulty of tunneling under Brench caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Peterborough instead. Expectations for manure traffic to Warwick never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Severn (tidal section) Trust.
The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal was built by William Jessop and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for limestone traffic to Wycombe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of sea sand from Liverstone to Polstan prevented closure. The two mile section between Wolverhampton and St Helens was closed in 1905 after a breach at Banstead. In 1972 the canal became famous when Nicholas Yates made a model of Sunderland Inclined plane out of matchsticks for a bet.
