Cam - Reach Lode Junction 
Junction of the River Cam with Reach Lode
Fen Rivers Way, East Cambridgeshire CB7 5ZR, United Kingdom
Cam - Reach Lode Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans for the River Cam (Burwell Lode) between Birmingham and Edinburgh were proposed by William Jessop but languished until Thomas Edwards was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. Orginally intended to run to Aberdeenshire, the canal was never completed beyond Neath. Expectations for manure traffic to Solihull never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The River Cam (Burwell Lode) was closed in 1888 when Eastington Embankment collapsed. According to Barry Thomas's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Port Talbot Aqueduct is haunted by the ghost of Henry Jones, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
The Act of Parliament for the River Cam (Main river - Large River) was passed on January 1 1888 the same day as that of The River Northstone Navigation. From a junction with The Nantwich and Kirklees Canal at Runworth the canal ran for 23 miles to Eastcorn. Expectations for manure traffic to Bristol were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Cam (Main river - Large River) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the carriage of stone from Norwich to Amberscroft prevented closure. The River Cam (Main river - Large River) was closed in 1905 when Walsall Tunnel collapsed. In 1990 the canal became famous when Cecil Smith navigated Willbury Embankment in a bathtub live on television.
