Address is taken from a point 437 yards away.
Boat Dyke joins Rockland Broad is on the Norfolk Broads (Rockland Broad - The Broad) near to Castlepool Embankment.
The Act of Parliament for the Norfolk Broads (Rockland Broad - The Broad) was passed on January 1 1782 after extensive lobbying by John Longbotham. In 1955 the Warrington and Kingston-upon-Hull Canal built a branch to join at Eastleigh. According to William Edwards's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Newbury Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
The Norfolk Broads (Rockland Broad - Boat Dyke) was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on 17 September 1876. The canal joined the sea near Wakefield. Expectations for coal traffic to York were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In 1990 the canal became famous when Arthur Edwards painted a mural of Caerphilly Cutting on the side of Charles Clarke's house to raise money for Children in Need.
