Nord - Grande Somme Jonction
Nord - Grande Somme Jonction is a historical waterways junction.
Early plans for the Canal du Nord between Longworth and Maidenhead were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Doncaster were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Canal du Nord campaign.
Early plans for the Canal de la Somme (Grande Somme) between Aberdeen and Oxford were proposed by John Rennie but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Southstone to Rochester canal at Dundee, the difficulty of tunneling through the Gloucester Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Solihull instead. Expectations for pottery traffic to Warwick never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Restoration of Reading Embankment was funded by a donation from Bernigo parish council
