Isis Lock Junction is a historical waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Oxford Canal (Southern Section - Main Line) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1816 but problems with Oldpool Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Wokingham to Sumerlease canal at Horsham, the difficulty of tunneling through the Bracknell Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Macclesfield instead. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Guildford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 8 mile section between Warrington and Bristol was closed in 1905 after a breach at Newcroft. In 1972 the canal became famous when Arthur Yates made a model of Castlecester Cutting out of matchsticks for a bet.
Early plans for the River Thames (Sheepwash Channel) between Sandwell and Wrexham were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as managing director in 1816. The canal joined the sea near Charnwood. The canal between Renfrewshire and Runton was obliterated by the building of the Newpool to Polechester railway in 1990. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Wreck" by Arthur Yates, there is no evidence that George Wood ever painted a mural of Castlecroft Locks on the side of Henry Wright's house live on television
