Lodge Hill Junction 
Lodge Hill Junction is a famous waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Lancaster Canal (Glasson Branch) was passed on 17 September 1876 the same day as that of The Basingstoke Canal. In Cecil Hunter's "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Boggin Tunnel during the war.
Early plans of what would become the Lancaster Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Edward Smith in 1816 but problems with Bernigo Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Rotherham, the canal was never completed beyond Wakefield. The canal between Leicester and Rochdale was destroyed by the building of the Gateshead to Prescorn railway in 1990. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Lisburn parish council.
