Grand Union Canal: Buckingham Arm
This is the point in Cosgrove at which the long-abandoned Buckingham Arm takes off from the main line of the Grand Union Canal. Opened in 1801 to much jubilation in Buckingham, it rapidly began to suffer from the usual canal problems of competition from the railways and water leakage. Additional problems on this arm in particular were the amount of silt in the water supply which filled the bed and made navigation increasingly difficult, and the propensity of the Buckingham Corporation, after all their initial enthusiasm, to use the canal as a disposal point for sewage.
The canal was not used beyond 1932, and formally abandoned in 1964 by which time its route had become blocked with new roads anyway. However moves are afoot to reopen it. The reach of the old canal, visible here, from the junction, is watered for about 230 metres, but serves as a marina only. There are no turning facilities for long narrowboats...

Cosgrove Lock and Buckingham Arm Junction
The Buckingham Arm was built in two separate phases: a broad canal to Old Stratford, which opened in 1800 and a narrow canal onwards to Buckingham, which opened in 1801.
It was disused from 1932, and was dammed at the first bridge in 1944 to reduce leakage from the Grand Union, but was not finally abandoned until 1964. The remains were severed by the construction of new roads in the 1970s and again in the late 1980s.
The section through Old Stratford and Deanshanger was sold off in the 1990s, and the route was lost to housing development.
The Buckingham Canal Society was formed in 1992, and is actively pursuing a restoration programme.
