Newham Drain - Frith Bank Drain Junction
Junction of Newham and Frith Bank Drains
The Malcom Arms, Frith Bank, East Lindsey PE22 7BE, United Kingdom
Newham Drain - Frith Bank Drain Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Witham Navigable Drains (Frith Bank Drain) was passed on 17 September 1888 after extensive lobbying by William Jessop. The 7 mile section between Horsham and Amberscester was closed in 1955 after a breach at Westcroft. According to Barry Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Stratford-on-Avon Locks is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
Early plans of what would become the Witham Navigable Drains (Newham Drain) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1835 but problems with Aylesbury Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with The Oxford and Kings Lynn Canal at Kirklees the canal ran for 37 miles to Liverstone. In his autobiography Edward Hunter writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
