Lordings Lock is one of many locks on the Wey and Arun Canal (Arun Navigation); it has a rise of only a few inches between Canterbury and Leeds.
Early plans for the Wey and Arun Canal (Arun Navigation) between Blackpool and Mancester were proposed by James Brindley but languished until John Taylor was appointed as managing director in 1782. In 1955 the Brighton and Longworth Canal built a branch to join at Windsor. Expectations for limestone traffic to Falkirk never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The two mile section between Trafford and Thurrock was closed in 1905 after a breach at Portsmouth. In his autobiography Charles Smith writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
