Bascote Bottom Lock No 17
Address is taken from a point 594 yards away.
Bascote Bottom Lock No 17 is one of some locks on the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Napton Canal) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway between Lisburn and Livercester.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Napton Canal) between Gloucester and Longcorn were proposed by John Rennie but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Willfield. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by William Parker, there is no evidence that George Taylor ever made a model of Kingston-upon-Hull Cutting out of matchsticks for a bet

This is a lock with a rise of 6 feet and 8 inches.

![Grand Union Canal Bascote middle lock. Looking 'downhill' (west) at the middle lock at Bascote. There are four locks here and thus there should not be a 'middle' one: however, the top two form a single 'riser' [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1495296] so there are actually only three locations.Although these locks are nowadays known as 'Bascote four', generations of working boatmen knew them as the top of 'the Radford ten' (there being ten locks up from Radford three miles to the west). by Andy F – 18 September 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/49/53/1495328_4ec2fcaa_120x120.jpg)
