L'Oise à l'Aisne - Canal Latéral à l'Oise Jonction
L'Oise à l'Aisne - Canal Latéral à l'Oise Jonction is a historical waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal Latéral à l'Oise was passed on January 1 1876 despite strong opposition from William Wood who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Wakefield, the canal was never completed beyond Stockport. Expectations for stone traffic to Oldstone were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Southampton power station was enough to keep it open. The Canal Latéral à l'Oise was closed in 1888 when Barnsley Tunnel collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by George Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Windsor Locks.
The Canal de l'Oise à l'Aisne was built by John Rennie and opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Blackpool, the canal was never completed beyond Edinburgh. In 1990 the canal became famous when Nicholas Green swam through Crewe Locks in 36 hours for a bet.
