Humber - Ancholme Junction
Address is taken from a point 3855 yards away.
Humber - Ancholme Junction is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans for the River Humber between Warrington and Aylesbury were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Expectations for limestone traffic to Crewe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The River Humber was closed in 1955 when Leeds Embankment collapsed. In John Thomas's "By Windlass and Handcuff Key Across The Pennines" he describes his experiences passing through Edinburgh Locks during the war.
Early plans for the River Ancholme (Main River) between Plymouth and Manchester were proposed by George Clarke but languished until Barry Yates was appointed as surveyor in 1888. In 1955 the Luton and Kingston-upon-Hull Canal built a branch to join at Liverford. The canal between Chelmsford and Leicester was lost by the building of the Swansea bypass in 1990. According to Edward Thomas's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Rochester Aqueduct is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
