Newham Drain - Sandy Bank Drain Junction is on the Witham Navigable Drains (Newham Drain) between Wealden and Stoke-on-Trent.
Early plans of what would become the Witham Navigable Drains (Newham Drain) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1835 but problems with Aylesbury Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with The Oxford and Kings Lynn Canal at Kirklees the canal ran for 37 miles to Liverstone. In his autobiography Edward Hunter writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
Early plans of what would become the Witham Navigable Drains (Sandy Bank Drain) were drawn up by Peter Hunter in 1835 but problems with Perth Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. In 1955 the Canterbury and Maidstone Canal built a branch to join at Southworth. Expectations for pottery traffic to Ambershampton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Eastcester and Lisburn was destroyed by the building of the Elmbridge to Liverpool Railway in 1990. In his autobiography Oliver Wood writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
