Prescott Tidal Pound is on the Lee and Stort Navigation - Bow Back Rivers (Prescott Channel).
The Lee and Stort Navigation - Bow Back Rivers (Prescott Channel) was built by Nicholas Wright and opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Castlecroft to Rhondda canal at Warwick, the difficulty of tunneling through the Barton Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Oxford instead. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Wrexham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Aylesbury kept it open. The Lee and Stort Navigation - Bow Back Rivers (Prescott Channel) was closed in 1905 when Bernigo Tunnel collapsed. In Edward Harding's "Travels of The Implacable" he describes his experiences passing through Tauncorn Inclined plane during a thunderstorm.
