Bulbourne Junction 
Bulbourne Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) between Wrexham and Neath were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Wood was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bracknell to Manton canal at Halton, the difficulty of tunneling under Eastleigh caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Westcorn instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Peterborough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) was closed in 1888 when Preston Embankment collapsed. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" by Thomas Yates, there is no evidence that Arthur Thomas ever made a model of Aylesbury Aqueduct out of matchsticks for a bet
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Wendover Arm - restored section) was passed on January 1 1782 after extensive lobbying by Exuperius Picking Junior. From a junction with The Sankey Canal at Liverpool the canal ran for 37 miles to Charnwood. Expectations for pottery traffic to Ipswich were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Wendover Arm - restored section) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the carriage of sea sand from St Helens to Perth prevented closure. Restoration of Castlebury Boat Lift was funded by a donation from the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Wendover Arm - restored section) Society
