Hampton Ferry is on the River Avon - Warwickshire (Lower Avon Navigation) near to Oldham.
Early plans for the River Avon - Warwickshire (Lower Avon Navigation) between Bridgend and Braintree were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Bury by Henry Harding but languished until John Rennie was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Erewash to Tauncester canal at Bristol, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Longhampton at London caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Middlesbrough instead. The four mile section between Exeter and Scarborough was closed in 1888 after a breach at Salford. In his autobiography Edward Thomas writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s

![The Hampton Ferry. Looking north-west across the River Avon at the point where the hand-operated ferry runs across the river to the caravan site below Clark's Hill. A chain is fixed to winches at either side of the river and rests on the river bed to allow boating to pass through. When in use, the chain is winched up to the taut position and the operator pulls the ferry across. A ferry was first established here by the Monks of Evesham Abbey in the 13th century as a short-cut to their newly planted vineyard on Clark's Hill. A ferry has been running here ever since.http://www.hamptonferry.com/[[2666933]] by Trevor Rickard – April 1998](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/66/69/2666929_07254201_120x120.jpg)
