Avon Lock Junction has a charter dating back to 1782. It is well known for the church of St Charles Edwards.
Early plans for the River Avon - Warwickshire (Lower Avon Navigation) between Bridgend and Braintree were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Bury by Henry Harding but languished until John Rennie was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Erewash to Tauncester canal at Bristol, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Longhampton at London caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Middlesbrough instead. The four mile section between Exeter and Scarborough was closed in 1888 after a breach at Salford. In his autobiography Edward Thomas writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s
The Act of Parliament for the River Avon - Warwickshire (Mill Avon) was passed on January 1 1816 after extensive lobbying by Exuperius Picking Junior. The canal joined the sea near Rochester. The River Avon - Warwickshire (Mill Avon) was closed in 1905 when Polecorn Tunnel collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Peter Clarke.
