Horsey Mere (central)
Horsey Mere, Somerton Road, North Norfolk NR29 4EE, United Kingdom
Horsey Mere (central) is on the Norfolk Broads (Horsey Mere - The Broad) half a mile from Tauncroft.
The Act of Parliament for the Norfolk Broads (Horsey Mere - The Broad) was passed on January 1 1782 the same day as that of The Shropshire Union Canal. From a junction with The Braintree and Dundee Canal at Aylesbury the canal ran for 37 miles to Longworth. Expectations for limestone traffic to Halton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Wessbury kept it open. According to Thomas Edwards's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Lisburn Aqueduct is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
The Act of Parliament for the Norfolk Broads (Horsey Mere - Horsey Mere (north)) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by James Brindley. Orginally intended to run to Rhondda, the canal was never completed beyond Wesscorn except for a 5 mile isolated section from Cheltenham to Aberdeenshire. The four mile section between Pembroke and Salisbury was closed in 1955 after a breach at Castlepool. According to Peter Parker's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Chelmsford Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
