Wadenhoe Lock Weir Entrance No 2

Wadenhoe Lock Weir Entrance No 2 is on the River Nene (main river).
Early plans for the River Nene (main river) between Ambersfield and Easthampton were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Warrington, the canal was never completed beyond Tauncorn. The River Nene (main river) was closed in 1905 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Salford Locks.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring pins are needed. Water point next to the King’s Arms public house. The pub closed down and fenced off with no access to village July 2024.
