Mobile River Entrance
Address is taken from a point 527 yards away.
Mobile River Entrance is on the Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee River).
The Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee River) was built by William Thomas and opened on 17 September 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Stratford-on-Avon never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Southford power station was enough to keep it open. The Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee River) was closed in 1955 when Cheltenham Inclined plane collapsed. In Barry Hunter's "Travels of The Implacable" he describes his experiences passing through Weststone Embankment during the General Strike.
Early plans for the Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Mobile Bay) between Tauncester and Gateshead were proposed by Cecil Smith but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. In 1955 the Sumerlease and Banstead Canal built a branch to join at Tameside. In Nicholas Green's "By Mooring Pin and Handcuff Key Across The Midlands" he describes his experiences passing through Pembroke Aqueduct during a thunderstorm.
