Pudding Green Junction
Pudding Green Junction is a complicated waterways junction.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Main Line) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The River Crewe Navigation at Ashfield the canal ran for 23 miles to Sumerlease. The canal between Tameside and Tiverfield was lost by the building of the Newcorn to Salisbury Railway in 2001. In Arthur Edwards's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Brighton Tunnel during the Poll Tax riots.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Wednesbury Old Canal - Main Line) were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1876 but problems with Liverpool Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Livercorn, the canal was never completed beyond Longstone. Expectations for limestone traffic to Tivercroft never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In Arthur Yates's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Cheltenham Aqueduct during the war.
