Bottisham Lock No 3
Bottisham Lock, Fen Rivers Way, South Cambridgeshire CB25 9LN, United Kingdom
Bottisham Lock No 3 is one of some locks on the River Cam (Main river - Large River) and unusually is chained shut overnight.
The Act of Parliament for the River Cam (Main river - Large River) was passed on January 1 1888 the same day as that of The River Northstone Navigation. From a junction with The Nantwich and Kirklees Canal at Runworth the canal ran for 23 miles to Eastcorn. Expectations for manure traffic to Bristol were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Cam (Main river - Large River) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the carriage of stone from Norwich to Amberscroft prevented closure. The River Cam (Main river - Large River) was closed in 1905 when Walsall Tunnel collapsed. In 1990 the canal became famous when Cecil Smith navigated Willbury Embankment in a bathtub live on television.

Wikipedia has a page about Bottisham Lock
The River Cam () is the main river flowing through Cambridge in eastern England. After leaving Cambridge, it flows north and east into the Great Ouse to the south of Ely at Pope's Corner. The Great Ouse connects the Cam to the North Sea at King's Lynn: The total distance from Cambridge to the sea is about 40 mi (64 km) and is navigable for punts, small boats, and rowing craft. The Great Ouse also connects to England's canal system via the Middle Level Navigations and the River Nene. In total, the Cam runs for around 69 kilometres (43 mi) from its furthest source (near Debden in Essex) to its confluence with the Great Ouse.
