Thames - Kennet Junction (Kennet Mouth) 
Junction of River Thames with the River Kennet at Reading
Kennet Side, Reading RG1 3LX, United Kingdom
Thames - Kennet Junction (Kennet Mouth) is a historical 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 Thames (River Kennet) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1782. The two mile section between Wesston and Rochester was closed in 1905 after a breach at Northford. Restoration of Polecroft Boat Lift was funded by a donation from Lancaster parish council
