Dukes Cut Lock
Early plans for the Oxford Canal (Duke's Cut) between Maidstone and St Helens were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until Barry Edwards was appointed as engineer in 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Basildon to Norwich canal at Horsham, the difficulty of tunneling under Presford caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Preston instead. The 8 mile section between Runpool and Longworth was closed in 1888 after a breach at Polefield. "A Very Special Boat" by Charles Harding describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Cambridge Tunnel.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring pins are needed. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. A large number of derelict and abandoned boats moored here make it difficult to moor.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
