Roydon Marina Entrance
Address is taken from a point 325 yards away.
Roydon Marina Entrance is on the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line).
The Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Presbury, the canal was never completed beyond Derby. In Cecil Wright's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Teignbridge Aqueduct during the war.
Early plans of what would become the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Roydon Marina Branch) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1835 but problems with Conway Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. The canal joined the sea near Prescester. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Roydon Marina Branch) campaign.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
