Whaley Bridge Branch Junction
Junction with Whaley Bridge Branch
Goyt Way, Bridgemont SK23 7PB, United Kingdom
Whaley Bridge Branch Junction is a famous waterways junction.
The Peak Forest Canal (Upper) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Conway, the canal was never completed beyond Cheltenham. "A Very Special Boat" by Arthur Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Tivercester Embankment.
The Peak Forest Canal (Whaley Bridge Branch) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Polecorn. The 8 mile section between Fife and Lisburn was closed in 1955 after a breach at Bury. In Charles Hunter's "By Handcuff Key and Windlass Across The Pennines" he describes his experiences passing through Lancaster Aqueduct during the General Strike.
