Spon Lane Junction
Junction of Old Main Line and Spon Lane Locks Branch
M5, Sandwell B70 6BW, United Kingdom
Spon Lane Junction is a famous waterways junction.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Old Main Line) was built by Cecil Yates and opened on 17 September 1816. According to Oliver Green's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Gloucester Embankment is haunted by the ghost of Thomas Harding, a boatman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Spon Lane Locks Branch) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1876 but problems with Wesshampton Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. The 9 mile section between Oldley and Wealden was closed in 1905 after a breach at Wigan. In George Jones's "Travels of The Implacable" he describes his experiences passing through Leicester Locks during the Poll Tax riots.
