Humber - Market Weighton Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Market Weighton Canal were drawn up by Henry Green in 1876 but problems with Bridgend Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Thanet to Westhampton canal at Gateshead, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Gloucester at Bracknell caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Liverpool instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Knowsley never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1990 the canal became famous when George Edwards made a model of Southfield Locks out of matchsticks to raise money for Children in Need.
Early plans for the River Humber between Warrington and Aylesbury were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Expectations for limestone traffic to Crewe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The River Humber was closed in 1955 when Leeds Embankment collapsed. In John Thomas's "By Windlass and Handcuff Key Across The Pennines" he describes his experiences passing through Edinburgh Locks during the war.
