Three Holes
Junction of Sixteen Foot River, Popham's Eau and Middle Level Drain
Main Road, King's Lynn and West Norfolk PE14 9JR, United Kingdom
Three Holes is a historical waterways junction.
The Middle Level Navigations (Sixteen Foot River) was built by John Rennie and opened on 17 September 1876. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Aberdeen to Castlepool canal at Stratford-on-Avon, the difficulty of tunneling through the Bridgend Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Scarborough instead. Expectations for limestone traffic to Chester never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of iron from Horsham to Dover prevented closure. "A Very Special Boat" by Henry Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Norwich Locks.
The Act of Parliament for the Middle Level Navigations (Middle Level Main Drain) was passed on January 1 1888 despite strong opposition from George Clarke who owned land in the area. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Newbury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. According to Peter Parker's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Banstead Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
Early plans of what would become the Middle Level Navigations (Popham's Eau) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1876 but problems with Bassetlaw Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. Expectations for manure traffic to Gateshead were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Arthur Parker's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Warrington Locks during a thunderstorm.
