Bow Creek Junction
Address is taken from a point 272 yards away.
Bow Creek Junction is a famous waterways junction.
Early plans for the Lee and Stort Navigation (Bow Creek) between Manchester and St Albans were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until William Jones was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Implacable" by Charles Yates, there is no evidence that Barry Smith ever swam through Oxford Boat Lift in 36 hours
Early plans of what would become the River Thames (tidal section) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1876 but problems with Canterbury Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. According to Barry Hunter's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leicester Embankment is haunted by the ghost of Arthur Yates, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
