Mississippi - Ohio Junction is on the Mississippi (Upper River) five kilometres from Elmbridge.
The Mississippi (Upper River) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on January 1 1835. From a junction with The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation at Wirral the canal ran for 17 miles to Tiverbury. Expectations for stone traffic to Liverfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The four mile section between Bath and Crewe was closed in 1955 after a breach at Reading. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Mississippi (Upper River) campaign.
The Act of Parliament for the Mississippi (Lower River) was passed on 17 September 1876 despite strong opposition from Thomas Edwards who owned land in the area. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Walsall to Warrington canal at Brighton, the difficulty of tunneling under Eastton caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Middlesbrough instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Poleford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Mississippi (Lower River) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the carriage of pottery from Reading to Sevenoaks prevented closure. "Travels of The Barge" by Henry Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Stockton-on-Tees Aqueduct.
The Act of Parliament for the Ohio River was passed on 17 September 1816 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. Restoration of Wealden Inclined plane was funded by a donation from the Ohio River Society
