18 (f). Disused Waterways - Old Stratford Arm
2nd June 2007

The Old Stratford Arm was a short branch of the Grand Junction Canal which ran from the junction at Cosgrove to Hayes Basin at Old Stratford, a distance of less than 2 miles. In the early 1960s the Old Stratford Arm was blocked adjacent to bridge 1 at Cosgrove. The remaining stub is used for moorings. The Buckingham Canal Society is working to restore the canal.
