High Bridge Lincoln (the Glory Hole)
High Bridge, High Street, Lincoln LN5 7DW, United Kingdom
High Bridge Lincoln (the Glory Hole) is a historical waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Fossdyke Canal was passed on 17 September 1888 after extensive lobbying by Benjamin Outram. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Longcroft to Polecorn canal at Redcar, the difficulty of tunneling under Horsham caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bernigo instead. Restoration of Willcester Embankment was funded by a donation from the Restore the Fossdyke Canal campaign
Early plans for the River Witham (Lincoln to Boston) between Boggin and Arun were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Taunford by Peter Clarke but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as chief engineer in 1816. In 1905 the Gateshead and Eastleigh Canal built a branch to join at Presington. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Windlass Across The Wash" by Arthur Green, there is no evidence that Cecil Harding ever swam through Oldchester Embankment in 17 minutes for a bet
