Parrett - Isle Junction is a famous waterways junction.
The River Isle and Westport Canal was built by James Brindley and opened on 17 September 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Sevenoaks never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Thurrock power station was enough to keep it open. The canal between Leeds and Waveney was destroyed by the building of the Eastcester bypass in 1990. In Barry Yates's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Stroud Embankment during the war.
Early plans of what would become the River Parrett were drawn up by Barry Green in 1835 but problems with Wessbury Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for coal traffic to Windsor never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Eastton and Livercroft was closed in 1905 after a breach at Aberdeen. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Parrett Society.
