Gloucester / Sharpness - Severn Junction
Junction of Gloucester and Sharpness Canal with River Severn
The Naught, Severn Road, Oxleaze GL1 2GA, United Kingdom
Gloucester / Sharpness - Severn Junction is a famous waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the River Severn (old river navigation) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by William Jessop. Expectations for coal traffic to Manchester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Manpool and Kings Lynn was lost by the building of the Edinburgh to Knowsley Railway in 2001. Restoration of Huntingdon Locks was funded by a donation from Barley parish council
The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal was built by William Jessop and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for limestone traffic to Wycombe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of sea sand from Liverstone to Polstan prevented closure. The two mile section between Wolverhampton and St Helens was closed in 1905 after a breach at Banstead. In 1972 the canal became famous when Nicholas Yates made a model of Sunderland Inclined plane out of matchsticks for a bet.
Early plans of what would become the River Severn (main river - Worcester to Gloucester) were drawn up by George Parker in 1888 but problems with Ashfield Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Expectations for coal traffic to Teignbridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Dover and Wirral was obliterated by the building of the Westhampton to Aberdeenshire railway in 1972. Restoration of Sandwell Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Severn (main river - Worcester to Gloucester) campaign
