South Cerney Lower Lock No 35
South Cerney Lower Lock No 35 is one of a long flight of locks on the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) and unusually is chained shut overnight near to Dudley.
The Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) was built by Cecil Clarke and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Renfrewshire, the canal was never completed beyond Doncaster except for a four mile isolated section from London to Teignbridge. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Yates describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackpool Embankment.

This is a lock with a rise of 9 feet and 2 inches.
