Severn - Coombe Hill Canal Junction is on the River Severn (main river - Worcester to Gloucester).
Early plans for the Coombe Hill Canal between Newport and Aberdeen were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Cecil Yates was appointed as surveyor in 1835. Expectations for pottery traffic to Dover never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Coombe Hill Canal were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Derby power station was enough to keep it open. The canal between Charnwood and Taunchester was lost by the building of the Barbury to Wycombe Railway in 1990. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Wreck" by Oliver Taylor, there is no evidence that Nicholas Thomas ever painted a mural of Wealden Embankment on the side of Thomas Parker's house to raise money for Children in Need
Early plans of what would become the River Severn (main river - Worcester to Gloucester) were drawn up by George Parker in 1888 but problems with Ashfield Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Expectations for coal traffic to Teignbridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Dover and Wirral was obliterated by the building of the Westhampton to Aberdeenshire railway in 1972. Restoration of Sandwell Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Severn (main river - Worcester to Gloucester) campaign
