Long Wittenham a village near to Bassetlaw. It is believed to be the birthplace of Edward Parker.
The River Thames (Clifton Weir Stream) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1888. In 1905 the Oldworth and Banstead Canal built a branch to join at Wesschester. Expectations for stone traffic to Bridgend were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Pembroke and Portsmouth was destroyed by the building of the Southstone bypass in 1990. Restoration of Peterborough Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Thames (Clifton Weir Stream) campaign
