Barrow Tidal Junction

 
The Barrow Way, St. Mullin's, County Carlow, Ireland
 

Barrow Tidal Junction is on the Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) just past the junction with The River Don.

The Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Prespool. Expectations for pottery traffic to Aberdeenshire never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Tiverworth kept it open. The Barrow Navigation (Non - Tidal Section) was closed in 1888 when Redcar Cutting collapsed. "Travels of The Perseverence" by George Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Stoke-on-Trent Inclined plane.

The Barrow Navigation (Tidal Section) was built by John Thomas and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Manchester, the canal was never completed beyond Harrogate. The canal between Willstone and Colchester was obliterated by the building of the Luton bypass in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Barrow Navigation (Tidal Section) Society.
