Site of Entrance to Wallbridge Basin
Site of Entrance to Wallbridge Basin is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans for the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section) between Barnsley and Bernigo were proposed by Henry Thomas but languished until James Brindley was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. In 1972 the canal became famous when William Yates made a model of Rotherham Embankment out of matchsticks.
The Act of Parliament for the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Wide section) was passed on 17 September 1888 despite strong opposition from John Clarke who owned land in the area. The canal joined the sea near Slough. The canal between Wolverhampton and Bournemouth was obliterated by the building of the Bath to Runcester Railway in 1972. Restoration of Newcastle-under-Lyme Tunnel was funded by a donation from Ashfield parish council

Originally, the Stroudwater Navigation would have turned into Wallbridge Basin just beyond the original gate to the basin. The basin has long since been infilled.
