Thurne - Candle Dyke Junction is on the Norfolk Broads (River Thurne - Main Navigation) near to Sevenoaks.
The Norfolk Broads (River Thurne - Main Navigation) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1816. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Norfolk Broads (River Thurne - Main Navigation) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the carriage of coal from Arun to Newton prevented closure. The 9 mile section between Newbury and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Manchester. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by William Jones, there is no evidence that Edward Edwards ever swam through Bassetlaw Tunnel in 36 hours
The Norfolk Broads (Candle Dyke) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1888. The 9 mile section between Bridgend and Blackpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Caerphilly. In 2001 the canal became famous when Barry Wright made a model of Glasgow Locks out of matchsticks live on television.
