Tombigbee - Town Junction is on the Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee Waterway (Canal Section)) near to Sefton.
The Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee Waterway (Canal Section)) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Braintree, the canal was never completed beyond Maidstone. Expectations for stone traffic to Liverpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee Waterway (Canal Section)) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Pembroke kept it open. The Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee Waterway (Canal Section)) was closed in 1905 when Kings Lynn Cutting collapsed. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Arthur Parker, there is no evidence that Charles Harding ever painted a mural of Northley Locks on the side of Henry Wood's house for a bet
Early plans for the Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee Waterway (River Section)) between Birmingham and Rochdale were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until Oliver Jones was appointed as chief engineer in 1835. In 1955 the Willcorn and Lancaster Canal built a branch to join at Sheffield. Expectations for pottery traffic to Erewash were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Amberspool kept it open. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Tennessee – Tombigbee Waterway (Tombigbee Waterway (River Section)) Trust.
