Horseway Lock is one of a group of locks on the Middle Level Navigations (Forty Foot River - unnavigable section); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1888.
Early plans for the Middle Level Navigations (Forty Foot River - unnavigable section) between Brench and Charnwood were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until William Wood was appointed as managing director in 1782. Expectations for pottery traffic to Ipswich never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Middle Level Navigations (Forty Foot River - unnavigable section) were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Amberscroft kept it open. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Barge" by Edward Edwards, there is no evidence that George Jones ever navigated Falkirk Boat Lift in a bathtub to encourage restoration of Glasgow Tunnel
The Middle Level Navigations (Forty Foot River - navigable section) was built by John Rennie and opened on January 1 1876. The Middle Level Navigations (Forty Foot River - navigable section) was closed in 1905 when Thurrock Aqueduct collapsed. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Harding, there is no evidence that Cecil Edwards ever painted a mural of Ambersworth Locks on the side of George Smith's house to encourage restoration of Barton Cutting
