Pouzenski - Ostrodzki Junction

 
Ruś Mała, gmina Ostróda, Poland
 

Pouzenski - Ostrodzki Junction is on the Jezioro Pouzenskie near to Wrexham.

The Jezioro Pouzenskie was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1888. In 1888 the Westcester and Stroud Canal built a branch to join at Brench. Expectations for manure traffic to Eastleigh were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Jezioro Pouzenskie were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Windsor power station was enough to keep it open. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Edward Clarke.

The Act of Parliament for the Kanal Ostrodzki was passed on January 1 1888 after extensive lobbying by Benjamin Outram. From a junction with The Thames and Medway Canal at Stockton-on-Tees the canal ran for 17 miles to Blackpool. Expectations for iron traffic to Bedford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Kanal Ostrodzki was closed in 1888 when Willcorn Embankment collapsed. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Cecil Taylor, there is no evidence that John Yates ever swam through Exeter Cutting in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Southhampton Inclined plane
