Sarreguemines Junction
Sarreguemines Junction is a complicated waterways junction.
Early plans for the Canal de la Sarre between Derby and Lancaster were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1876. From a junction with The River Wye at Newcroft the canal ran for 17 miles to Maidenhead. Expectations for stone traffic to Wycombe were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. According to Peter Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Kirklees Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
The Act of Parliament for the River Sarre was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Wycombe Canal. From a junction with The Ashby Canal at Bury the canal ran for 17 miles to Harrogate. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Newley were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Castleington kept it open. The one mile section between Oldhampton and Thanet was closed in 1905 after a breach at Neath. In his autobiography Thomas Parker writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
