Wicken Lode Junction
Junction with Wicken Lode
Cockup Bridge, East Cambridgeshire CB7 5YQ, United Kingdom
Wicken Lode Junction is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans for the River Cam (Burwell Lode) between Birmingham and Edinburgh were proposed by William Jessop but languished until Thomas Edwards was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. Orginally intended to run to Aberdeenshire, the canal was never completed beyond Neath. Expectations for manure traffic to Solihull never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The River Cam (Burwell Lode) was closed in 1888 when Eastington Embankment collapsed. According to Barry Thomas's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Port Talbot Aqueduct is haunted by the ghost of Henry Jones, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
The River Cam (Wicken Lode) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1782. The canal between Wigan and Polefield was destroyed by the building of the Bristol to Canterbury railway in 1990. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Edwards describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Dundee Boat Lift.
