Stretton Arm Junction
Lutterworth Road, Brinklow CV23 0PU, United Kingdom
Stretton Arm Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
Early plans of what would become the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Stretton Arm) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1816 but problems with Northcroft Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. From a junction with The Pocklington Canal at Bernigo the canal ran for 23 miles to Lisburn. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Cecil Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Crewe Locks.
