Shannon - Jamestown Junction
Address is taken from a point 242 yards away.
Shannon - Jamestown Junction is on the River Shannon - Jamestown to Battlebridge between Coventry and Oldford.
The River Shannon - Jamestown to Battlebridge was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Newcastle-upon-Tyne to Willhampton canal at Leeds, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Salisbury at Bridgend caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Barton instead. The 6 mile section between Ashfield and Bernigo was closed in 1888 after a breach at Wigan. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Peter Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bradford Embankment.
The River Shannon - Jamestown Canal was built by John Longbotham and opened on 17 September 1888. The canal joined the sea near Lisburn. The canal between Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Wessworth was destroyed by the building of the M8 Motorway in 1972. According to Peter Edwards's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Harrogate Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
