Portishead Harbour Entrance is on the River Severn (tidal section) between Sheffield and Kingston-upon-Hull.
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.
