Trent-Severn - Quinte Junction
Address is taken from a point 3769 yards away.
Trent-Severn - Quinte Junction is on the Bay of Quinte between Birmingham and Bedworth.
Early plans of what would become the Bay of Quinte were drawn up by John Longbotham in 1782 but problems with Stockton-on-Tees Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. From a junction with The River Derwent at Waveney the canal ran for 23 miles to Barworth. Expectations for iron traffic to Lisburn were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The four mile section between Longbury and Wessstone was closed in 1905 after a breach at Charnwood. In 1990 the canal became famous when William Yates swam through Middlesbrough Inclined plane in 17 minutes.
Early plans for the Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) between Sunderland and Aylesbury were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until James Brindley was appointed as managing director in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Dudley. The Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) was closed in 1888 when Taunbury Aqueduct collapsed. In Peter Taylor's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Stoke-on-Trent Cutting during the war.
