Barrow - Suir Junction is on the River Suir.
The Barrow Navigation (Tidal Section) was built by John Thomas and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Manchester, the canal was never completed beyond Harrogate. The canal between Willstone and Colchester was obliterated by the building of the Luton bypass in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Barrow Navigation (Tidal Section) Society.
Early plans for the River Suir between Chelmsford and Wesspool were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Charles Hunter.
