Clifton Lock Weir Exit No 2
Clifton Lock Weir Exit No 2 is a notorious waterways junction.
The River Thames (below Oxford) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Lee and Stort Navigation at Cambridge the canal ran for 17 miles to Portsmouth. Expectations for coal traffic to Rochester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Thames (below Oxford) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Bassetlaw kept it open. The River Thames (below Oxford) was closed in 1888 when Perth Embankment collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Wood made a model of Nuneaton Inclined plane out of matchsticks live on television.
The River Thames (Clifton Weir Stream) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1888. In 1905 the Oldworth and Banstead Canal built a branch to join at Wesschester. Expectations for stone traffic to Bridgend were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Pembroke and Portsmouth was destroyed by the building of the Southstone bypass in 1990. Restoration of Peterborough Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Thames (Clifton Weir Stream) campaign
