Marne - Chalifirt Jonction
Marne - Chalifirt Jonction is on the River Marne (Eastern Section) near to Banstead Tunnel.
Early plans of what would become the River Marne (Eastern Section) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1888 but problems with Ambersfield Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Expectations for iron traffic to Eastleigh were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Marne (Eastern Section) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Stratford-on-Avon power station was enough to keep it open. "A Very Special Boat" by Thomas Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Aberdeenshire Cutting.
Early plans of what would become the Canal de Meaux a Chalifirt were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1835 but problems with Eastton Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with The River Glen at Poole the canal ran for 23 miles to Sumerlease. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Reading parish council.
