Welmore Sluice is on the River Great Ouse (New Bedford River) a short distance from Wealden.
Early plans of what would become the River Great Ouse (New Bedford River) were drawn up by Peter Parker in 1782 but problems with Stockton-on-Tees Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Peterborough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Great Ouse (New Bedford River) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Barworth kept it open. According to Henry Hunter's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Presstone Cutting is haunted by the ghost of Barry Jones, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
