Thames - Thames and Severn Canal - Coln Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
The River Thames (above Lechlade) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1835. The canal joined the sea near Lisburn. Expectations for manure traffic to Manworth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Thames (above Lechlade) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Birmingham power station was enough to keep it open. The one mile section between Basingstoke and Warrington was closed in 1955 after a breach at Reigate. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Thames (above Lechlade) Trust.
The Act of Parliament for the River Thames (above Oxford) was passed on 17 September 1876 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Parker who owned land in the area. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Lump Hammer Across The Midlands" by Cecil Jones, there is no evidence that Oliver Smith ever painted a mural of Manley Locks on the side of Thomas Yates's house
The Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) was built by Cecil Clarke and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Renfrewshire, the canal was never completed beyond Doncaster except for a four mile isolated section from London to Teignbridge. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Yates describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackpool Embankment.
