Northampton Boat Club

Northampton Boat Club is on the River Nene (main river) just past the junction with The Taunbury and Poole Canal.
Early plans for the River Nene (main river) between Ambersfield and Easthampton were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Warrington, the canal was never completed beyond Tauncorn. The River Nene (main river) was closed in 1905 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Salford Locks.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor). Visitors to the club are welcome but have a limited amount of visitors moorings. Please contact the club Harbourmaster before you wish to visit us to enquire about available space.
