Yare - Waveney Junction
Address is taken from a point 260 yards away.
Yare - Waveney Junction is on the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation) near to Derby.
Early plans of what would become the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1816 but problems with Wokingham Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Crewe, the canal was never completed beyond Stratford-on-Avon. In George Clarke's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Polstan Locks during a thunderstorm.
Early plans for the Norfolk Broads (River Waveney - Main Navigation) between Polstan and Salford were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Doncaster by Hugh Henshall but languished until William Jessop was appointed as engineer in 1816. Expectations for iron traffic to Taunhampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Eastcroft kept it open. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Smith painted a mural of Wesspool Cutting on the side of Barry Edwards's house to encourage restoration of Runcorn Tunnel.
