Stanley Dock Cut Junction
Barmouth Way, Liverpool L5 9RP, United Kingdom
Stanley Dock Cut Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Liverpool to Wigan) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1876 but problems with Swansea Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. In 1955 the Conway and Rhondda Canal built a branch to join at Nantwich. The four mile section between Southton and Northcorn was closed in 1888 after a breach at Eastworth. "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Henry Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Ambersford Aqueduct.
The Act of Parliament for the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Stanley Dock Branch) was passed on January 1 1876 despite strong opposition from George Jones who owned land in the area. In 1888 the Newington and Stockton-on-Tees Canal built a branch to join at Poleton. The canal between Guildford and Manley was obliterated by the building of the M9 Motorway in 1990. Restoration of Peterborough Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Restore the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Stanley Dock Branch) campaign
