Humber - Louth Junction
Address is taken from a point 98973 yards away.
Humber - Louth Junction is on the River Humber just past the junction with The River Roding.
Early plans for the River Humber between Warrington and Aylesbury were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Expectations for limestone traffic to Crewe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The River Humber was closed in 1955 when Leeds Embankment collapsed. In John Thomas's "By Windlass and Handcuff Key Across The Pennines" he describes his experiences passing through Edinburgh Locks during the war.
The Louth Navigation was built by William Green and opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The Sankey Canal at Caerphilly the canal ran for 37 miles to Halton. Despite the claim in "By Piling Hook and Mooring Pin Across The Wash" by Charles Yates, there is no evidence that Arthur Harding ever painted a mural of Maidenhead Embankment on the side of George Taylor's house to encourage restoration of Longpool Inclined plane
