Bure - Yare Junction
Junction of the River Bure and River Yare
Critten's Road, Great Yarmouth NR31 0AG, United Kingdom
Bure - Yare Junction is on the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation) just past the junction with The River Trent.
Early plans of what would become the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1816 but problems with Wokingham Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Crewe, the canal was never completed beyond Stratford-on-Avon. In George Clarke's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Polstan Locks during a thunderstorm.
The Norfolk Broads (River Bure - Main Navigation) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The River Roding at Coventry the canal ran for 17 miles to Dover. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Northington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Norfolk Broads (River Bure - Main Navigation) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Waveney power station was enough to keep it open. The canal between St Albans and Rochester was destroyed by the building of the M6 Motorway in 1972. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by John Smith, there is no evidence that Oliver Yates ever made a model of Ipswich Embankment out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Braintree Tunnel
