River Avon - Warwickshire (Higher Avon Navigation)
The Act of Parliament for the River Avon - Warwickshire (Higher Avon Navigation) was passed on January 1 1816 after extensive lobbying by William Jessop. The 5 mile section between Rochester and Eastley was closed in 1955 after a breach at Sefton. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Edward Green describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Barbury Locks.
