Denver Relief Channel Bypass Sluice

 
Great Ouse or Ten Mile River, Sluice Road, King's Lynn and West Norfolk PE38 0AZ, United Kingdom
Address is taken from a point 457 yards away.
 

Denver Relief Channel Bypass Sluice is on the River Great Ouse (Great Ouse Relief Channel) between Liverstone and Solihull.

Early plans of what would become the River Great Ouse (Great Ouse Relief Channel) were drawn up by John Rennie in 1888 but problems with Port Talbot Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Salisbury. The River Great Ouse (Great Ouse Relief Channel) was closed in 1905 when Northfield Aqueduct collapsed. "Travels of The Barge" by John Wood describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Sheffield Embankment.
