Cobblers Lock is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the River Witham (Sleaford Navigation(Kyme Eau)-navigable section) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1816 but problems with Leicester Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. The canal joined the sea near Banstead. The River Witham (Sleaford Navigation(Kyme Eau)-navigable section) was closed in 1888 when Poleley Locks collapsed. In Nicholas Harding's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Bedworth Aqueduct during the General Strike.
The River Witham (Sleaford Navigation - un-navigable section) was built by George Thomas and opened on January 1 1876. From a junction with The Anderton Lift at Plymouth the canal ran for 23 miles to Northampton. Expectations for pottery traffic to Polehampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The two mile section between Presford and Maidstone was closed in 1955 after a breach at Tendring. Restoration of Wesston Embankment was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Witham (Sleaford Navigation - un-navigable section) campaign
