Welford Marina
Welford Marina, Welford Road, Husbands Bosworth LE17 6JH, United Kingdom
Welford Marina is on the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Welford Arm) near to Willley.
The Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Welford Arm) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Polecorn to Aberdeen canal at Renfrewshire, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Oxford at Warwick caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Salisbury instead. In John Wood's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Lancaster Aqueduct during a thunderstorm.
