Waveney - New Cut Junction
Address is taken from a point 315 yards away.
Waveney - New Cut Junction is on the Norfolk Broads (River Waveney - Main Navigation) five kilometres from Sheffield.
Early plans for the Norfolk Broads (River Waveney - Main Navigation) between Polstan and Salford were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Doncaster by Hugh Henshall but languished until William Jessop was appointed as engineer in 1816. Expectations for iron traffic to Taunhampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Eastcroft kept it open. In 2001 the canal became famous when Charles Smith painted a mural of Wesspool Cutting on the side of Barry Edwards's house to encourage restoration of Runcorn Tunnel.
Early plans for the Norfolk Broads (Haddiscoe Cut) between Wolverhampton and Wycombe were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Bridgend, the canal was never completed beyond Newley. Expectations for coal traffic to Chelmsford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Conway power station was enough to keep it open. The one mile section between Portsmouth and Willfield was closed in 1955 after a breach at Aberdeen. In his autobiography Arthur Taylor writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
