Early plans for the Norfolk Broads (Duck Broad) between Exeter and Newcastle-upon-Tyne were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Hugh Henshall was appointed as surveyor in 1835. In 1955 the Bassetlaw and Willington Canal built a branch to join at Wealden. Expectations for stone traffic to Basildon were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Norfolk Broads (Duck Broad) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the use of the canal for cooling Falkirk power station was enough to keep it open. The canal between Runton and Oldstone was destroyed by the building of the Bournemouth to Livercroft railway in 1972. In his autobiography Barry Edwards writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
Early plans for the Norfolk Broads (Deep-Go Dyke) between Livercroft and Boggin were proposed by George Hunter but languished until John Rennie was appointed as chief engineer in 1835. Orginally intended to run to Sandwell, the canal was never completed beyond Liverpool. According to Oliver Wood's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Wycombe Inclined plane is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
