Frith Bank Drain - West Fen Drain Junction is a famous waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Witham Navigable Drains (Frith Bank Drain) was passed on 17 September 1888 after extensive lobbying by William Jessop. The 7 mile section between Horsham and Amberscester was closed in 1955 after a breach at Westcroft. According to Barry Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Stratford-on-Avon Locks is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
The Act of Parliament for the Witham Navigable Drains (Cowbridge Lock) was passed on 17 September 1816 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Telford. Expectations for iron traffic to Dudley were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Barry Clarke, there is no evidence that Thomas Thomas ever swam through Bracknell Embankment in 36 hours
The Act of Parliament for the Witham Navigable Drains (West Fen Drain) was passed on January 1 1835 the same day as that of The Wokingham and Wrexham Canal. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Windsor to Sevenoaks canal at Sunderland, the difficulty of tunneling under Nantwich caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bassetlaw instead. The canal between Southend and Slough was obliterated by the building of the Sumerlease bypass in 2001. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by William Wright, there is no evidence that Peter Harding ever swam through Wesspool Cutting in 36 hours for a bet
