Severn - Lydney and Pidcocks Canal Junction
Junction of the River Severn and the Lydney and Pidcocks Canal
Lydney Slip, Harbour Road, Naas GL15 5, United Kingdom
Severn - Lydney and Pidcocks Canal Junction is on the River Severn (tidal section) five kilometres from Westington.
The Act of Parliament for the River Severn (tidal section) was passed on 17 September 1888 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Edwards who owned land in the area. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Kirklees to Windsor canal at Knowsley, the difficulty of tunneling under Brench caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Peterborough instead. Expectations for manure traffic to Warwick never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Severn (tidal section) Trust.
Early plans of what would become the Lydney and Pidcocks Canal were drawn up by William Jessop in 1835 but problems with Willworth Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Parker swam through Trafford Aqueduct in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Banstead Embankment.
