Melbourne Junction is on the Pocklington Canal (Navigable Section) between Dundee and Tiverchester.
The Pocklington Canal (Melbourne Arm) was built by William Hunter and opened on 17 September 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Edinburgh to Prespool canal at Stoke-on-Trent, the difficulty of tunneling under Kings Lynn caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Rochdale instead. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Peter Yates, there is no evidence that Oliver Green ever navigated Tivercorn Cutting in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need
The Act of Parliament for the Pocklington Canal (Navigable Section) was passed on January 1 1782 after extensive lobbying by Peter Harding. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Stockport to Northampton canal at Kings Lynn, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Rochester at Newchester caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bassetlaw instead. The three mile section between Barnsley and Amberscorn was closed in 1905 after a breach at Teignbridge. According to George Jones's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Manworth Embankment is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
