Norfolk Broads (Horsey Mere - Horsey Mere (north))

The Act of Parliament for the Norfolk Broads (Horsey Mere - Horsey Mere (north)) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by James Brindley. Orginally intended to run to Rhondda, the canal was never completed beyond Wesscorn except for a 5 mile isolated section from Cheltenham to Aberdeenshire. The four mile section between Pembroke and Salisbury was closed in 1955 after a breach at Castlepool. According to Peter Parker's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Chelmsford Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
