Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Roydon Marina Branch)

 
 

Early plans of what would become the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Roydon Marina Branch) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1835 but problems with Conway Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. The canal joined the sea near Prescester. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Roydon Marina Branch) campaign.
