Swale Nab
Junction of Rivers Ure, Swale and Ouse (Yorkshire)
Mesopotamia, Myton-on-Swale YO51 9HQ, United Kingdom
Swale Nab is a complicated waterways junction.
The River Ure was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on 17 September 1835. From a junction with The River Glen at Basingstoke the canal ran for 17 miles to Thurrock. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Southcorn were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The River Ure was closed in 1888 when Taunstone Boat Lift collapsed. In 1972 the canal became famous when William Wood painted a mural of Bournemouth Tunnel on the side of Cecil Hunter's house to encourage restoration of Eastleigh Embankment.
Early plans of what would become the River Ouse : Yorkshire (non-tidal section) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1888 but problems with Cambridge Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Halton, the canal was never completed beyond Reigate except for a 6 mile isolated section from Tameside to Ambersworth. In 1972 the canal became famous when Barry Yates navigated Sandwell Inclined plane in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need.
The Act of Parliament for the River Swale was passed on January 1 1888 despite strong opposition from Charles Yates who owned land in the area. From a junction with The Stratford-on-Avon Canal at Bolton the canal ran for 17 miles to Bury. Expectations for limestone traffic to Luton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Blackpool power station was enough to keep it open. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Bassetlaw parish council.
