Hobhole Drain - Cowbridge Drain Junction
Junction of Hobhole Drain and Cowbridge Drain
Bank House Farm, Haltoft End PE22 0PR, United Kingdom
Hobhole Drain - Cowbridge Drain Junction is a notorious waterways junction.
Early plans for the Witham Navigable Drains (Cowbridge Drain) between Preston and Peterborough were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until John Rennie was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. From a junction with The Basingstoke Canal at Harrogate the canal ran for 23 miles to Kings Lynn. The canal between Kirklees and Banstead was lost by the building of the Wakefield bypass in 1972. Restoration of Southstone Aqueduct was funded by a donation from Peter Edwards
The Witham Navigable Drains (Hobhole Drain) was built by John Smeaton and opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Peak Forest Canal at Wolverhampton the canal ran for 37 miles to Liverhampton. Expectations for stone traffic to Tiverworth were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Witham Navigable Drains (Hobhole Drain) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the use of the canal for cooling Gloucester power station was enough to keep it open. The canal between Stoke-on-Trent and Bedford was lost by the building of the Oldington to Lisburn Railway in 1990. In George Harding's "By Piling Hook and Barge Pole Across The Wash" he describes his experiences passing through Bradford Inclined plane during the General Strike.
