River Nete

Early plans of what would become the River Nete were drawn up by William Green in 1888 but problems with Waveney Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. In 1888 the Rochester and Oldington Canal built a branch to join at Castlechester. Expectations for stone traffic to Northcester never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Poleley and Southstone was obliterated by the building of the M7 Motorway in 1972. In Barry Smith's "By Handcuff Key and Lump Hammer Across The Pennines" he describes his experiences passing through Caerphilly Embankment during the war.
