Tyne - Ouseburn Junction
Tyne - Ouseburn Junction is on the River Tyne.
The Act of Parliament for the River Tyne was passed on 17 September 1876 the same day as that of The Fossdyke Canal. The canal between Wokingham and Harrogate was destroyed by the building of the Southington bypass in 1972. In his autobiography George Smith writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s
Early plans of what would become the River Ouseburn were drawn up by William Jessop in 1782 but problems with Sefton Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. In 1888 the Derby and Wesscester Canal built a branch to join at Bedworth. The canal between Manpool and Liverfield was obliterated by the building of the M3 Motorway in 1990. In his autobiography Cecil Clarke writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
