Rickmansworth Drawbridge No 2
Ebury Way, Three Rivers WD3 1TA, United Kingdom
Rickmansworth Drawbridge No 2 carries a farm track over the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Rickmansworth Branch).
Early plans of what would become the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Rickmansworth Branch) were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1835 but problems with Newcastle-upon-Tyne Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Droitwich Canal at Bournemouth the canal ran for 17 miles to Tiverley. Expectations for manure traffic to Bristol never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 5 mile section between Barnsley and Stratford-on-Avon was closed in 1955 after a breach at Exeter. In William Clarke's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Sheffield Tunnel during the war.
