	Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation is the canalisation of the Rivers Chelmer and Blackwater in Essex, in the east of England.
		An Act of Parliament was passed in 1793 authorising the construction of the navigation, and work began in October, with John Rennie as Chief Engineer, but with Richard Coates in charge in practice as Resident Engineer.
		The navigation is unusual in that it was not nationalised in 1948 along with most other waterways in the UK and is still under the control of the original Company of proprietors of the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation Ltd, albeit as of 2005 in administration.

	Down the Chelmer and up the Blackwater
		The Chelmer and the Blackwater and their tributaries, with their intricate pattern of parallel streams, water and drain about two thirds of Essex.
		When the Navigation was made, the lower part of Langford Canal (opened in 1792 for serving Langford Mill) was filled in but the line of this can still be seen on Maldon Golf Course; the upper part of the canal, "The Langford Cut", is now used for supplying the water needs of The Navigation.
		The Navigation Canal goes, with the towpath on the left bank, for its first 1½ miles in a straight line NW to Heybridge Town, at the entrance to which is, on the right bank, the magnificent warehouse built in 1863 for Bentall's Ironworks (established in 1811).

		The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation is a private navigation, outwith the Anglian river system, therefore your BCU Licence does not apply.
		Either way, it's not much for a delightful little river that wends its way through pretty country from Chelmsford down to the sea at Heybridge (near Maldon), a river that I am sure you will enjoy, and be glad to have done.
		We paddle up the Blackwater estuary past the town of Maldon, and on up to the point where the Blackwater and the Chelmer come close to one another, the Chelmer being perhaps ten feet higher.

		A project called the Jubilee River, which diverts flood waters from the River Thames in Berkshire, is already open, but it was designed to look and act like a natural river, and it is not generally counted as a new canal.
		There is now a large waterways network of canals and navigable rivers throughout Great Britain, with most canals being linked to other canals, navigable rivers or the sea.
		In May 2005 The Times reported that British Waterways was hoping to quadruple the amount of cargo carried on Britain's canal network to 6 million tonnes by 2010 by transporting large amounts of waste to disposal facilities.

		Chelmer Canal Trust, formerly the Friends of the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation, is a voluntary group whose main aims are to preserve the waterway from Chelmsford to the sea and to enhance the quality of its public enjoyment and appreciation.
		We felt that we could provide positive support to them by identifying and schemes for development and enhancement that would be beyond the scope of their operations, but where voluntary helpers could make a real contribution to the public enjoyment of the waterway.
		Boats on the navigation were joined by trailboats from all over the country for the IWA National Trailboat Rally, a procession of boats and the unveiling by the mayor, of a plaque to Richard Coates, the engineer who was in day to day charge of the navigation's original construction.

		Maldon is an old hilltop town and river port at the head of the Blackwater estuary.
		Because of the shallowness of the river Blackwater, many of the larger ships could go no further than Osea Island a mile away and the goods were transferred from there into Maldon by lighter.
		Nevertheless, the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation was built and it bypassed Maldon altogether.

		The vessel is unusual in that it is double ended allowing the rudder to be hung at either end to avoid the necessity of turning her around.
		Narrowboats are increasing in popularity on the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation, last year saw another two, bringing the total up to around 15.
		Although the navigation was build for 60ft broad beam barges, the traditional lines of narrowboats seem to fit the idyllic picturesque scene associated with the canal and they are also a good practical sturdy boat (ideal for those hard concrete locks!).

		Waterfront Place is a unique concept situated on the banks of the Chelmer and Blackwater navigation in the heart of Chelmsford, comprising the Vittorio Restaurant on the first floor, the Italia Bar and Oven on the ground floor plus conference or private dining facilities.
		We recently visited the Vittorio 1st Floor Restaurant which was obviously a popular choice, as on the Thursday evening we visited, it was already filling up by the time we sat down.
		I worked in some of the top hotels in London and enjoyed nothing more on my days off than exploring the cosmopolitan eateries of Ethnic cuisine." Based on our experience we are sure the new menu will be very successful with diners and suggest you visit the Vittorio Restaurant very soon.
