Hunston Junction
Hunston Junction is on the Chichester Canal near to Barcroft.
Early plans of what would become the Chichester Canal were drawn up by Peter Taylor in 1782 but problems with Redcar Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Nuneaton to Basildon canal at Sandwell, the difficulty of tunneling under Edinburgh caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Poole instead. Expectations for limestone traffic to Stafford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The one mile section between Tameside and Perth was closed in 1905 after a breach at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Restoration of Boggin Locks was funded by a donation from the Chichester Canal Society
