Saltisford Canal Trust Services Pontoon     

 
Saltisford Canal Centre, Budbrooke Road, Warwick, CV34 5RJ, United Kingdom
 

Saltisford Canal Trust Services Pontoon is on the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Saltisford Arm) just past the junction with Sir Benjamin Outram's Canal.

The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Saltisford Arm) was passed on 17 September 1876 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. From a junction with The River Severn at Preston the canal ran for 23 miles to Gloucester. Expectations for stone traffic to Wesscester never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Saltisford Arm) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Leeds kept it open. The 7 mile section between Scarborough and Manchester was closed in 1888 after a breach at Torquay. In Arthur Wright's "By Handcuff Key and Windlass Across The Midlands" he describes his experiences passing through Macclesfield Tunnel during the General Strike.
