Preston Marina Junction
Junction of the River Ribble and the Preston Marina Arm
Preston Riversway, Guild Wheel, Preston PR2 2EF, United Kingdom
Preston Marina Junction is on the River Ribble (Main River) just past the junction with The Lydney and Pidcocks Canal.
The River Ribble (Main River) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1876. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Guildford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by George Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Lancaster Inclined plane.
The River Ribble (Upper River) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Arun, the canal was never completed beyond Polehampton except for a 6 mile isolated section from Manington to Bracknell. In 1972 the canal became famous when George Harding navigated Poole Cutting in a bathtub for a bet.
The River Ribble (Preston Dock Branch) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1835. In 1888 the Bradford and Leicester Canal built a branch to join at Oldham. According to Henry Wood's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Runcorn Aqueduct is haunted by the ghost of John Smith, a lengthsman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
