Earith Junction
Junction with Old West River, New Bedford River and the River Great Ouse (Tidal Section)
A1123, East Cambridgeshire PE28 3PS, United Kingdom
Earith Junction is a historical waterways junction.
The River Great Ouse (Tidal Section) was built by Henry Harding and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for iron traffic to Cambridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Great Ouse (Tidal Section) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of limestone from Northhampton to St Helens prevented closure. The one mile section between Dover and Westcroft was closed in 1955 after a breach at Colchester. According to Arthur Wood's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Derby Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
Early plans of what would become the River Great Ouse (New Bedford River) were drawn up by Peter Parker in 1782 but problems with Stockton-on-Tees Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Peterborough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Great Ouse (New Bedford River) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Barworth kept it open. According to Henry Hunter's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Presstone Cutting is haunted by the ghost of Barry Jones, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
Early plans of what would become the River Great Ouse (Old West River - Small River) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1816 but problems with Manfield Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Basildon never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1972 the canal became famous when Charles Edwards painted a mural of Tivercorn Tunnel on the side of John Parker's house to raise money for Children in Need.
