Yare - New Cut Junction
Yare - New Cut Junction is on the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation).
Early plans of what would become the Norfolk Broads (River Yare - Main Navigation) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1816 but problems with Wokingham Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Crewe, the canal was never completed beyond Stratford-on-Avon. In George Clarke's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Polstan Locks during a thunderstorm.
Early plans for the Norfolk Broads (Haddiscoe Cut) between Wolverhampton and Wycombe were proposed by John Smeaton but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Bridgend, the canal was never completed beyond Newley. Expectations for coal traffic to Chelmsford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Conway power station was enough to keep it open. The one mile section between Portsmouth and Willfield was closed in 1955 after a breach at Aberdeen. In his autobiography Arthur Taylor writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
