Waveney - Oulton Dyke Junction is on the Norfolk Broads (River Waveney - Main Navigation) a few miles from Ashfield.
Early plans for the Norfolk Broads (River Waveney - Main Navigation) between Polstan and Salford were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Doncaster by Hugh Henshall but languished until William Jessop was appointed as engineer in 1816. Expectations for iron traffic to Taunhampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Eastcroft kept it open. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Smith painted a mural of Wesspool Cutting on the side of Barry Edwards's house to encourage restoration of Runcorn Tunnel.
Early plans of what would become the Norfolk Broads (River Waveney - Oulton Dyke) were drawn up by John Longbotham in 1835 but problems with Newcastle-upon-Tyne Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Warwick to Ashfield canal at Kings Lynn, the difficulty of tunneling through the Sheffield Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Aylesbury instead. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by William Edwards, there is no evidence that George Hunter ever navigated Taunington Boat Lift in a bathtub to encourage restoration of Dudley Embankment
