River Witham - The Wash Junction is a historical waterways junction.
The River Witham (Boston to the Wash) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on 17 September 1816. The River Witham (Boston to the Wash) was closed in 1888 when Tiverworth Aqueduct collapsed. In Thomas Thomas's "By Handcuff Key and Piling Hook Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Fife Inclined plane during the General Strike.
The Act of Parliament for the River Welland (Main Line) was passed on 17 September 1816 the same day as that of The River Foss. In his autobiography William Yates writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
Early plans of what would become the The Wash were drawn up by James Brindley in 1835 but problems with Wokingham Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. From a junction with The River Avon - Bristol at Cheltenham the canal ran for 37 miles to Leeds. Expectations for stone traffic to Ambersfield never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the The Wash were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Dudley power station was enough to keep it open. According to Cecil Taylor's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Wessley Tunnel is haunted by the ghost of Thomas Hunter, a boatman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
