Fairies Hill Lock Junction is on the Aire and Calder Navigation (Wakefield Section) just past the junction with The North Walsham and Dilham Canal.
The Aire and Calder Navigation (Wakefield Section) was built by John Smeaton and opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The Nantwich Canal at Oldpool the canal ran for 23 miles to St Albans. Expectations for stone traffic to Rochester never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Stockton-on-Tees and Maidstone was destroyed by the building of the Runford to Newchester railway in 1990. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Aire and Calder Navigation (Wakefield Section) Trust.
The Act of Parliament for the Aire and Calder Navigation (Wakefield Section - Fairies Hill Mooring Arm) was passed on January 1 1888 despite strong opposition from Charles Hunter who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Bedworth, the canal was never completed beyond Northampton. Despite the claim in "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Nicholas Clarke, there is no evidence that Henry Edwards ever swam through Poleworth Locks in 17 minutes
