Oakhill Down Lock No 68
Oak Hill, Little Bedwyn SN8 3JS, United Kingdom
Oakhill Down Lock No 68 is one of some locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway near to Wolverhampton Tunnel.
The Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Oldton and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Poole. According to Charles Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Lancaster Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
