User contributed information about Old Ford Upper Lock

I just [i.e. with both fenders rubbing the canal side] managed to wind a full-size [71ft] nb just above the lock where there is a small widening - kept stern to towpath side. I did wonder if it would go around in all honesty - but didn't even need to remove a fender!
