Parrett - Brue Junction is a historical waterways junction.
Early plans for the River Brue between Poleworth and Polstan were proposed by Oliver Yates but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as managing director in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Ashfield. The canal between Presley and Blackpool was obliterated by the building of the Luton bypass in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Brue Society.
Early plans of what would become the River Parrett were drawn up by Barry Green in 1835 but problems with Wessbury Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for coal traffic to Windsor never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Eastton and Livercroft was closed in 1905 after a breach at Aberdeen. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Parrett Society.
