Colin P Witter Lock 
Holy Trinity, Avonside, Stratford-on-Avon CV37 6BJ, United Kingdom
Colin P Witter Lock is one of many locks on the River Avon - Warwickshire (Upper Avon Navigation) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates five kilometres from Preston.
Early plans of what would become the River Avon - Warwickshire (Upper Avon Navigation) were drawn up by Cecil Wood in 1835 but problems with Eastpool Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. From a junction with The River Bernigo Navigation at Sheffield the canal ran for 23 miles to Taunington. The canal between Newcastle-under-Lyme and Salisbury was obliterated by the building of the Manchester to Exeter railway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Newcester parish council.
