The Hatton Arms PH 
The Hatton Arms PH is an notable flight of locks on the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line).
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line) between Eastley and Wirral were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. In 1905 the Ambersbury and Trafford Canal built a branch to join at Teignbridge. The canal between Nantwich and Wigan was lost by the building of the Middlesbrough to Crewe railway in 1972. In his autobiography Barry Yates writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes). Mid lock flight, so no mooring.

![Hatton Locks No 43, Warwickshire. There are twenty-one wide locks in the two mile flight at Hatton on the Grand Union Canal. This view across the top end of Lock No 43 shows the entrance to the original disused narrow lock in the foreground, and the wide lock being used by a pair of narrowboats beyond. [[[1709350]]]The Warwick and Birmingham Canal was opened in 1799, and is one of eight, owned by different companies, which eventually came together as the Grand Union Canal in 1929. Following this move, in 1932 the locks in the Hatton flight were widened to allow two narrowboats of seven foot beam to use them, side by side. The remains of the original narrow locks can be seen here on the right, and by many of the current wide locks. http://www.waterscape.com/features-and-articles/features/the-history-of-hatton-locks by Roger D Kidd – 06 September 2008](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/70/94/1709460_6eb54465_120x120.jpg)









![Hatton Locks, Warwickshire. Two narrowboats are entering Lock No 44 (the third from the top in the flight of twenty-one). They were oblivious to the fact that their locking crew had left a gate open at Lock No 43, and the paddle is still up. This is the pound that was drained of water, possibly by a similar error the previous day. They were not especially pleased at having to come back to finish the job.[[[1188139]]] by Roger D Kidd – 06 September 2008](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/70/95/1709578_912f981f_120x120.jpg)




![Drydock at Hatton locks (3). This photo shows the rudder and the stern end of a wooden narrowboat on the drydock at Hatton, Grand Union Canal. For a wider view see [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1589733] . The dry dock is on the north side of the canal alongside the fourth lock down the flight of 21 locks.The boat is named 'Forget-Me-Not'. It is a former working narrowboat which was converted in the 1960s for use as a hotel boat. Recently the full-length cabin was stripped off and the boat is being restored to near-original condition. As part of the restoration, the boat was on dock to have the seams in its hull re-caulked and repainted with tar. by Andy F – 15 November 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/58/97/1589736_a3b180cb_120x120.jpg)
