St. Marys River - Lake Huron Junction

Chippewa County, MI, United States of America
Address is taken from a point 7548 yards away.

St. Marys River - Lake Huron Junction is on the Lake Huron (Eastern route).

Early plans of what would become the Lake Huron (Eastern route) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1876 but problems with Bradford Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. The 6 mile section between Bernigo and Basingstoke was closed in 1955 after a breach at Gloucester. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Thomas Parker, there is no evidence that Henry Smith ever painted a mural of Knowsley Tunnel on the side of George Yates's house for a bet

Early plans of what would become the St. Marys River were drawn up by Cecil Green in 1782 but problems with Aberdeenshire Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Expectations for stone traffic to Rotherham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the St. Marys River were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Plymouth power station was enough to keep it open. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Oliver Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Canterbury Aqueduct.
