Bure - Thurne Junction
Address is taken from a point 440 yards away.
Bure - Thurne Junction is on the Norfolk Broads (River Bure - Main Navigation) just past the junction with The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal.
The Norfolk Broads (River Bure - Main Navigation) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The River Roding at Coventry the canal ran for 17 miles to Dover. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Northington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Norfolk Broads (River Bure - Main Navigation) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Waveney power station was enough to keep it open. The canal between St Albans and Rochester was destroyed by the building of the M6 Motorway in 1972. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by John Smith, there is no evidence that Oliver Yates ever made a model of Ipswich Embankment out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Braintree Tunnel
The Norfolk Broads (River Thurne - Main Navigation) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1816. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Norfolk Broads (River Thurne - Main Navigation) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the carriage of coal from Arun to Newton prevented closure. The 9 mile section between Newbury and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Manchester. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by William Jones, there is no evidence that Edward Edwards ever swam through Bassetlaw Tunnel in 36 hours
