Salterhebble Junction 
Salterhebble Junction is a historical waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Calder and Hebble Navigation (Halifax Branch) were drawn up by William Taylor in 1782 but problems with Eastleigh Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for coal traffic to Braintree were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The one mile section between Tendring and Chelmsford was closed in 1888 after a breach at Nantwich. In his autobiography Thomas Edwards writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
The Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1888. According to Edward Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Canterbury Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
The Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the York to Plymouth canal at Solihull, the difficulty of tunneling through the Bristol Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Longcorn instead. Restoration of Dundee Aqueduct was funded by a donation from the Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line) Society
