Lower Parting

 
Junction with Maisemore Channel (closed)
Port Ham GL2 8DB, United Kingdom
Address is taken from a point 370 yards away.
 

Lower Parting is on the River Severn (old river navigation) near to Polstan.

The Act of Parliament for the River Severn (old river navigation) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by William Jessop. Expectations for coal traffic to Manchester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Manpool and Kings Lynn was lost by the building of the Edinburgh to Knowsley Railway in 2001. Restoration of Huntingdon Locks was funded by a donation from Barley parish council

Early plans for the River Severn (Maisemore Channel - Southern Section) between Northampton and Oldcorn were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Runington by Thomas Telford but languished until Barry Green was appointed as managing director in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Walsall, the canal was never completed beyond Stockton-on-Tees. Expectations for pottery traffic to Willcroft were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Wessford and Brench was obliterated by the building of the Slough to Sevenoaks Railway in 2001. According to John Thomas's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Rochdale Inclined plane is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
