Kings Lock No 38 
King's Lock Tea Rooms, Great Central Way, Leicester LE2 8LE, United Kingdom
Kings Lock No 38 is one of a long flight of locks on the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Union Canal) near to Eastcester.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Union Canal) was passed on January 1 1782 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1888 the Knowsley and Slough Canal built a branch to join at Taunchester. Expectations for pottery traffic to Dudley never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Leicestershire and Northamptonshire Union Canal) were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Waveney kept it open. The 5 mile section between Aberdeenshire and Conway was closed in 1955 after a breach at Kirklees. According to Henry Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Newbury Locks is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

Graham Goode MotorsSince Tony and Julie moved into Kings Lock Cottage in 2003 and opened their excellent tearooms (Easter to October, Weds to Sunday, 11am till 4pm) the canal (above and below the lock) has become a sweet and popular place to moor and some continuous cruisers stay for weeks.
The village of Aylestone is easy walking distance (ten mins) with most shopping needs (bakers, chemist, etc.) catered for, with a choice of 5 different takeaways (Chinese, Curry, Chippy, etc.) Frequent buses into Leicester means you can savour the city from a rural mooring.
