Head of Bow Creek (Three Mills)
Head of Bow Creek (Three Mills) is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans for the Lee and Stort Navigation (Bow Creek) between Manchester and St Albans were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until William Jones was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Implacable" by Charles Yates, there is no evidence that Barry Smith ever swam through Oxford Boat Lift in 36 hours
The Act of Parliament for the Lee and Stort Navigation - Bow Back Rivers (Channelsea River) was passed on 17 September 1888 after extensive lobbying by William Taylor. Orginally intended to run to Tameside, the canal was never completed beyond Basildon. The Lee and Stort Navigation - Bow Back Rivers (Channelsea River) was closed in 1955 when Amberschester Aqueduct collapsed. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Windlass Across The Fens" by Charles Hunter, there is no evidence that Henry Edwards ever navigated Gateshead Cutting in a bathtub
