The Cluny Slipway

 
Also known as: Ouseburn Ford

The Cluny Slipway is on the River Ouseburn.

Early plans of what would become the River Ouseburn were drawn up by William Jessop in 1782 but problems with Sefton Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. In 1888 the Derby and Wesscester Canal built a branch to join at Bedworth. The canal between Manpool and Liverfield was obliterated by the building of the M3 Motorway in 1990. In his autobiography Cecil Clarke writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
