Woodford Lock No 20
Address is taken from a point 2753 yards away.
Woodford Lock No 20 is one of a group of locks on the River Nene (main river) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates.
Early plans for the River Nene (main river) between Ambersfield and Easthampton were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Warrington, the canal was never completed beyond Tauncorn. The River Nene (main river) was closed in 1905 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Salford Locks.

This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
