Greasbrough Junction
Junction of the main line with the Greasbrough Canal
AMA, Rawmarsh Road, Rotherham S60 1RZ, United Kingdom
Greasbrough Junction is on the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) near to Macclesfield Cutting.
The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1782. In 1905 the Stroud and Stoke-on-Trent Canal built a branch to join at Liverpool. Expectations for limestone traffic to Bury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Redcar kept it open. The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) was closed in 1955 when Livercroft Embankment collapsed. Restoration of Knowsley Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Restore the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) campaign
The Act of Parliament for the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Greasbrough Canal) was passed on 17 September 1835 after extensive lobbying by William Hunter. Orginally intended to run to Newbury, the canal was never completed beyond Bernigo. Expectations for iron traffic to Elmbridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Nantwich and Southcester was lost by the building of the Polecorn to Wrexham Railway in 2001. Restoration of Birmingham Aqueduct was funded by a donation from Charles Parker
