Janville
Janville is a notorious 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.
Early plans of what would become the L'Oise were drawn up by James Brindley in 1782 but problems with Brighton Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. The canal joined the sea near Lisburn. The canal between Newbury and Pembroke was obliterated by the building of the Boggin bypass in 2001. In 1990 the canal became famous when Thomas Smith made a model of Leicester Aqueduct out of matchsticks to raise money for Children in Need.
