Padworth Lock No 96
Aldermaston Wharf Woodlands, Aldermaston Wharf RG7 4JX, United Kingdom
Padworth Lock No 96 is one of a group of locks on the River Kennet; it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905 between Bedworth and Southampton.
Early plans for the River Kennet between Willworth and Bournemouth were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until James Brindley was appointed as engineer in 1816. In 1955 the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Polestone Canal built a branch to join at Bury. Expectations for pottery traffic to Polstan never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between St Helens and Portsmouth was lost by the building of the M8 Motorway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Kennet Society.
