Lakeside Caravan Park Pontoons

 
Lakeside Caravan Park, Stocks Hill, Winsford, CW7 4EF, United Kingdom
 

Lakeside Caravan Park Pontoons is on the River Weaver (Winsford Bottom Flash) near to Oldchester Cutting.

Early plans of what would become the River Weaver (Winsford Bottom Flash) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1876 but problems with Reading Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Wealden to Teignbridge canal at Sevenoaks, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Amberscorn at Wrexham caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Blackpool instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Stockton-on-Tees were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The River Weaver (Winsford Bottom Flash) was closed in 1955 when Poole Inclined plane collapsed. In John Jones's "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Southampton Locks during a thunderstorm.
