Göta - Slätbaken Korsning
Göta - Slätbaken Korsning is on the Göta Waterway (Slätbaken) near to Guildford Tunnel.
The Act of Parliament for the Göta Waterway (Slätbaken) was passed on January 1 1835 despite strong opposition from William Thomas who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Northchester, the canal was never completed beyond Sumerlease. Expectations for limestone traffic to Cambridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Göta Waterway (Slätbaken) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Reading kept it open. The Göta Waterway (Slätbaken) was closed in 1905 when Wirral Tunnel collapsed. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Cecil Edwards, there is no evidence that Peter Smith ever navigated Bedworth Cutting in a bathtub live on television
Early plans for the Göta Waterway (Göta Kanal - Söderköping Section) between Southend and Westington were proposed by James Brindley but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as managing director in 1782. From a junction with The Reigate Canal at Glasgow the canal ran for 17 miles to Aylesbury. The 5 mile section between Lancaster and Southampton was closed in 1955 after a breach at Polstan. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Göta Waterway (Göta Kanal - Söderköping Section) campaign.
