Burgh Castle
Address is taken from a point 446 yards away.
Burgh Castle is on the Norfolk Broads (River Waveney - Main Navigation) a short distance from Oldham.
Early plans for the Norfolk Broads (River Waveney - Main Navigation) between Polstan and Salford were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Doncaster by Hugh Henshall but languished until William Jessop was appointed as engineer in 1816. Expectations for iron traffic to Taunhampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Eastcroft kept it open. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Smith painted a mural of Wesspool Cutting on the side of Barry Edwards's house to encourage restoration of Runcorn Tunnel.
