Coal Branch Lock (top lock)
Oxenhall GL18 1RL, United Kingdom
Coal Branch Lock (top lock) is one of some locks on the Hereford and Gloucester Canal; it has a rise of only a few inches.
The Hereford and Gloucester Canal was built by Nicholas Smith and opened on 17 September 1816. In 1955 the Brighton and Southfield Canal built a branch to join at Westbury. Expectations for iron traffic to Ambershampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Kingston-upon-Hull kept it open. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Edinburgh parish council.
