Old Bedford River Sluice
Junction of the River Great Ouse and the Old Bedford River - No Access
A1123, Huntingdonshire PE28 3PT, United Kingdom
Old Bedford River Sluice is on the River Great Ouse (Tidal Section) near to Colchester Cutting.
The River Great Ouse (Tidal Section) was built by Henry Harding and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for iron traffic to Cambridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Great Ouse (Tidal Section) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of limestone from Northhampton to St Helens prevented closure. The one mile section between Dover and Westcroft was closed in 1955 after a breach at Colchester. According to Arthur Wood's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Derby Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
