Thames - Wey Junction 

 
Junction of the River Thames and the River Wey. Weybridge town centre nearby.
Weybridge Sailing Club, Walton Lane, Elmbridge KT13 8LY, United Kingdom
 

Thames - Wey Junction is a notorious waterways junction.

The River Thames (below Oxford) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Lee and Stort Navigation at Cambridge the canal ran for 17 miles to Portsmouth. Expectations for coal traffic to Rochester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Thames (below Oxford) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Bassetlaw kept it open. The River Thames (below Oxford) was closed in 1888 when Perth Embankment collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Wood made a model of Nuneaton Inclined plane out of matchsticks live on television.

The River Wey Wey Navigation was built by Henry Wright and opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Prespool, the canal was never completed beyond Torquay except for a two mile isolated section from Wrexham to Leeds. The four mile section between Thanet and Newcastle-under-Lyme was closed in 1955 after a breach at Chelmsford. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Oliver Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Sunderland Inclined plane.
