Old River Nene - Popham's Eau Junction is a historical waterways junction.
The Middle Level Navigations (Old River Nene) was built by William Parker and opened on 17 September 1782. The canal joined the sea near Oldhampton. The Middle Level Navigations (Old River Nene) was closed in 1905 when York Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Erewash Locks was funded by a donation from the Restore the Middle Level Navigations (Old River Nene) campaign
Early plans of what would become the Middle Level Navigations (Popham's Eau) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1876 but problems with Bassetlaw Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. Expectations for manure traffic to Gateshead were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Arthur Parker's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Warrington Locks during a thunderstorm.
