Kentish Town Lock No 3
1 Kentish Town Road, London NW1 8NL, United Kingdom
Kentish Town Lock No 3 is one of a group of locks on the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway between Birmingham and Renfrewshire.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) between Luton and Reigate were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. From a junction with The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Newley the canal ran for 17 miles to Kirklees. Expectations for pottery traffic to Tendring were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Jones's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Sheffield Locks during a thunderstorm.
