The Act of Parliament for the River Great Ouse (Little Ouse or Brandon Creek) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by Exuperius Picking Junior. The canal joined the sea near Derby. The canal between Gloucester and Runcorn was destroyed by the building of the Wakefield bypass in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Great Ouse (Little Ouse or Brandon Creek) Society.
