Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort)
Early plans of what would become the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1888 but problems with Prescroft Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for coal traffic to Walsall never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The two mile section between Bernigo and Thurrock was closed in 1888 after a breach at Northpool. In his autobiography John Clarke writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
The Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort) is part of the Lee and Stort Navigation and is made up of the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line) and the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Roydon Marina Branch).
The navigational authority for this waterway is Canal & River Trust
