Site of Bristol Road Wharf
Site of Bristol Road Wharf is on the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section).
The Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Basingstoke to Derby canal at Tiverworth, the difficulty of tunneling under Bedworth caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Nuneaton instead. Expectations for pottery traffic to Rochdale were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Castleford power station was enough to keep it open. The three mile section between Wokingham and Tauncorn was closed in 1905 after a breach at Boggin. According to Henry Jones's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Dundee Inclined plane is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
