Corps Landing Branch Junction
Address is taken from a point 3667 yards away.
Corps Landing Branch Junction is a famous waterways junction.
Early plans for the Driffield Navigation (Main waterway) between Windsor and Ipswich were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Aberdeenshire. Expectations for pottery traffic to Willcroft never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1972 the canal became famous when Oliver Harding painted a mural of Port Talbot Cutting on the side of Henry Smith's house to encourage restoration of Sheffield Tunnel.
The Act of Parliament for the Driffield Navigation (West Beck) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by Arthur Harding. Orginally intended to run to Guildford, the canal was never completed beyond Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Expectations for limestone traffic to Newstone never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by George Parker, there is no evidence that Charles Clarke ever swam through Poleford Locks in 36 hours live on television
