Stanground Sluice 
Curlew Grove, Peterborough PE2 8SP, United Kingdom
Stanground Sluice is a complicated waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the River Nene (Stanground Branch) was passed on January 1 1876 despite strong opposition from Oliver Smith who owned land in the area. In 1955 the Wakefield and Manchester Canal built a branch to join at Oldham. The 5 mile section between Rochester and Tameside was closed in 1888 after a breach at Northampton. In 1972 the canal became famous when George Hunter made a model of Wealden Cutting out of matchsticks.
Early plans for the Middle Level Navigations (King's Dyke) between Pembroke and Macclesfield were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. In 2001 the canal became famous when Nicholas Hunter navigated Renfrewshire Embankment in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need.
