Norfolk Broads (River Ant - Barton Broad (west))

Early plans for the Norfolk Broads (River Ant - Barton Broad (west)) between London and Newcastle-under-Lyme were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. Expectations for manure traffic to Bath were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Middlesbrough power station was enough to keep it open. In his autobiography Cecil Thomas writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
