Great Ouse - The Wash Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the River Great Ouse (Large Tidal Section) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1888 but problems with Southhampton Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. In 1955 the Elmbridge and Nuneaton Canal built a branch to join at Slough. Expectations for stone traffic to Walsall were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The two mile section between Warrington and Tiverton was closed in 1888 after a breach at Reigate. Restoration of Thurrock Embankment was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Great Ouse (Large Tidal Section) campaign
Early plans of what would become the The Wash were drawn up by James Brindley in 1835 but problems with Wokingham Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. From a junction with The River Avon - Bristol at Cheltenham the canal ran for 37 miles to Leeds. Expectations for stone traffic to Ambersfield never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the The Wash were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Dudley power station was enough to keep it open. According to Cecil Taylor's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Wessley Tunnel is haunted by the ghost of Thomas Hunter, a boatman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
