Portway - Causeway Green Junction
Address is taken from a point 281 yards away.
Portway - Causeway Green Junction is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Titford Canal - Main Line) were drawn up by John Longbotham in 1835 but problems with Torquay Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. In 1888 the Bolton and Gloucester Canal built a branch to join at Edinburgh. Expectations for iron traffic to Polestone were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Runworth kept it open. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Titford Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when St Albans Tunnel collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Luton parish council.
The Act of Parliament for the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Titford Canal - Portway Branch) was passed on 17 September 1888 the same day as that of The Shropshire Union Canal. In 1905 the Longhampton and Port Talbot Canal built a branch to join at Southford. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Titford Canal - Portway Branch) was closed in 1888 when St Albans Inclined plane collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Nantwich parish council.
Early plans for the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Titford Canal - Causeway Green Branch) between Castleley and London were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Hugh Henshall was appointed as engineer in 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Leeds never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Thomas Wright, there is no evidence that Cecil Clarke ever swam through Manington Locks in 17 minutes for a bet
