Droitwich Junction
Junction of Droitwich Barge Canal and Droitwich Junction Canal
John Corbett Way, Vines Lane, Wychavon WR9 8LR, United Kingdom
Droitwich Junction is a historical waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Droitwich Canals (Droitwich Barge Canal) were drawn up by John Longbotham in 1835 but problems with Walsall Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. In 1905 the Ambersbury and Basildon Canal built a branch to join at Bridgend. According to Peter Thomas's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Harrogate Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
The Act of Parliament for the Droitwich Canals (Droitwich Junction Canal) was passed on January 1 1888 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. The 5 mile section between Boggin and Westbury was closed in 1955 after a breach at Ambersford. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Henry Hunter.
