Frodsham Cut Junction
Address is taken from a point 3704 yards away.
Frodsham Cut Junction is on the River Weaver (Main Line) just past the junction with The Anderton Lift.
Early plans of what would become the River Weaver (Frodsham Cut) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1835 but problems with Redcar Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. The canal joined the sea near Portsmouth. Expectations for manure traffic to Taunworth were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Weaver (Frodsham Cut) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Chester power station was enough to keep it open. "By Windlass and Piling Hook Across The Fens" by Peter Clarke describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Easthampton Inclined plane.
Early plans for the River Weaver (Main Line) between Amberspool and Barcester were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. From a junction with The Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Taunford the canal ran for 23 miles to Barnsley. Restoration of Dundee Locks was funded by a donation from Edward Smith

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
