Welland - Glen Junction
Welland - Glen Junction is on the River Welland (Main Line) near to Sefton Aqueduct.
The Act of Parliament for the River Glen (Main Line) was passed on 17 September 1816 the same day as that of The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Halton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Restoration of Kings Lynn Boat Lift was funded by a donation from Wycombe parish council
The Act of Parliament for the River Welland (Main Line) was passed on 17 September 1816 the same day as that of The River Foss. In his autobiography William Yates writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

![Vernatt's Drain meets the River Welland. Vernatt's Drain to the left and the River Welland heading seawards ahead and to the right. The River Glen also joins the confluence party a little further up. You can just see the 'mouth' of the River Glen as the next opening on the left.For a better idea, take a look in the opposite direction here [[851286]]. by Ian Paterson – 15 January 2022](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/07/26/7072645_5da52fde_120x120.jpg)

![The banks of the Welland. The River Welland is tidal as far as the giant lock on the edge of Spalding. On a very high tide the water level in the river can be higher than the surrounding farmland which is protected by large floodbanks seen here.
