Hatton Lock No 44 is one of some locks on the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates.
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.

![Hatton Locks No 43, Warwickshire. There are twenty-one wide locks in the two mile flight at Hatton on the Grand Union Canal. This view across the top end of Lock No 43 shows the entrance to the original disused narrow lock in the foreground, and the wide lock being used by a pair of narrowboats beyond. [[[1709350]]]The Warwick and Birmingham Canal was opened in 1799, and is one of eight, owned by different companies, which eventually came together as the Grand Union Canal in 1929. Following this move, in 1932 the locks in the Hatton flight were widened to allow two narrowboats of seven foot beam to use them, side by side. The remains of the original narrow locks can be seen here on the right, and by many of the current wide locks. http://www.waterscape.com/features-and-articles/features/the-history-of-hatton-locks by Roger D Kidd – 06 September 2008](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/70/94/1709460_6eb54465_120x120.jpg)
