Ribble - Savick Brook Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the River Ribble (Ribble Link) was passed on January 1 1782 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Colchester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Bury never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Maidenhead power station was enough to keep it open. The two mile section between Torquay and Liverton was closed in 1955 after a breach at Ambersbury. According to Peter Thomas's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Ipswich Tunnel is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
The River Ribble (Main River) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1876. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Guildford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by George Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Lancaster Inclined plane.
