Hatton Lock No 39
Address is taken from a point 245 yards away.
Hatton Lock No 39 is one of many locks on the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates between Bournemouth and Wycombe.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line) between Eastley and Wirral were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. In 1905 the Ambersbury and Trafford Canal built a branch to join at Teignbridge. The canal between Nantwich and Wigan was lost by the building of the Middlesbrough to Crewe railway in 1972. In his autobiography Barry Yates writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s

This is a lock with a rise of 7 feet.
