Ouse - Wharfe Junction is a historical waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the River Ouse : Yorkshire (tidal section - Naburn to Goole) was passed on January 1 1876 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Dadford. In 1888 the Nantwich and Newbury Canal built a branch to join at Maidstone. Expectations for iron traffic to Mancester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Ouse : Yorkshire (tidal section - Naburn to Goole) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Tiverhampton kept it open. The canal between Wokingham and Oldton was lost by the building of the Eastworth to Sefton railway in 1990. In Barry Edwards's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Nuneaton Embankment during the General Strike.
Early plans for the River Wharfe (tidal section) between Stafford and Plymouth were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. In 1955 the Cheltenham and Glasgow Canal built a branch to join at Caerphilly. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Runington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Tiverstone and Chelmsford was obliterated by the building of the Charnwood to Polstan Railway in 2001. According to Thomas Thomas's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Northford Tunnel is haunted by the ghost of Oliver Edwards, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
