Wood Lock No 19 
Address is taken from a point 539 yards away.
Wood Lock No 19 is one of some locks on the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Napton Canal); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905 between Bath and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
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

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring pins are needed. Very pretty and quiet mooring below the lock. Moor against the concrete piling and use mooring pins.
This is a lock with a rise of 6 feet and 7 inches.

![HS2 enabling works, Welsh Road area, April 2021 (7). This is land that will be crossed by HS2, north of the canal (out of shot left) and west of Ridgeway Lane, the viewpoint. The view is to the right of [[6890418]]. Groundworks in progress could be forming a low embankment, perhaps from the massive spoilheap across the canal [[6889727]]. by Robin Stott – 23 April 2021](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/89/04/6890410_16b648de_120x120.jpg)



![HS2 enabling works, Welsh Road area, April 2021 (8). This is land north of the canal and west of Ridgeway Lane, the viewpoint. The view is to the left of [[6890410]] and to the right of [[6890450]]. Machines are busy with groundworks. The line will cross here on a wide low embankment. A cutting will be formed through the bare ridge, right of centre. Note the line-up of earthmoving machines in the right distance. Note the watercourse in the foreground. by Robin Stott – 23 April 2021](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/89/04/6890418_f150bdfa_120x120.jpg)
![HS2 enabling works, Welsh Road area, September 2021 (19). This view from Longhole Bridge may be compared with [[6890450]] taken in April 2021. Here an embankment is being formed that will carry the railway from the right across the Welsh Road valley to the cutting being formed through the distant ridge towards its encounter with the Fosse Way.

![HS2 enabling works, Welsh Road area, September 2021 (12). Shiny new power supply boxes sit beside Ridgeway Lane. From Western Power Distribution, the larger one is identified as 'Longhole Bridge Padmount 939729'. Ridgeway Lane is shown on the 2015 OS Explorer map as 'Other route with public access'. Most of it has been widened and surfaced with stone to serve as a haul road to and from the big HS2 contractor's compound off Welsh Road, avoiding a crossing of the Grand Union Canal [[6986451]]. The unaltered stretch crosses the canal at Longhole Bridge [[6879440]]. Haul wagons join A425 through Ufton village. by Robin Stott – 18 September 2021](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/98/55/6985568_ef3b2aa1_120x120.jpg)
