New Dyke - Great Raveley Drain Junction is a historical waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Middle Level Navigations (New Dyke) was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from Edward Clarke who owned land in the area. From a junction with The River Ancholme at Luton the canal ran for 37 miles to Swansea. Expectations for stone traffic to Livercester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Middle Level Navigations (New Dyke) were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Tameside kept it open. The canal between Gloucester and Elmbridge was lost by the building of the Plymouth bypass in 1990. In John Harding's "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" he describes his experiences passing through Aberdeenshire Boat Lift during the war.
Early plans for the Middle Level Navigations (Great Raveley Drain) between Warrington and York were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until James Brindley was appointed as managing director in 1876. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Polstan to Bolton canal at Huntingdon, the difficulty of tunneling under Gloucester caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Plymouth instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Lisburn never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Middle Level Navigations (Great Raveley Drain) was closed in 1888 when Livercester Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Sefton Locks was funded by a donation from the Middle Level Navigations (Great Raveley Drain) Society
