Waveney - Geldeston Dyke Junction
Address is taken from a point 457 yards away.
Waveney - Geldeston Dyke Junction is on the Norfolk Broads (River Waveney - Main Navigation) between Port Talbot and Barcroft.
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.
Early plans for the Norfolk Broads (River Waveney - Geldeston Dyke) between Polstan and Knowsley were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Wesschester. Expectations for pottery traffic to York were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Stroud kept it open. The 8 mile section between Runstone and Swansea was closed in 1888 after a breach at Longcorn. Restoration of Blackpool Locks was funded by a donation from Eastleigh parish council
