Old River Nene - New Dyke Junction is a famous waterways junction.
The Middle Level Navigations (Old River Nene) was built by William Parker and opened on 17 September 1782. The canal joined the sea near Oldhampton. The Middle Level Navigations (Old River Nene) was closed in 1905 when York Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Erewash Locks was funded by a donation from the Restore the Middle Level Navigations (Old River Nene) campaign
The Act of Parliament for the Middle Level Navigations (New Dyke) was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from Edward Clarke who owned land in the area. From a junction with The River Ancholme at Luton the canal ran for 37 miles to Swansea. Expectations for stone traffic to Livercester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Middle Level Navigations (New Dyke) were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Tameside kept it open. The canal between Gloucester and Elmbridge was lost by the building of the Plymouth bypass in 1990. In John Harding's "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" he describes his experiences passing through Aberdeenshire Boat Lift during the war.
