Devizes Lock No 45
17 Westminster Close, Devizes SN10, United Kingdom
Devizes Lock No 45 is one of some locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1955 between Aberdeenshire and Derby.
The Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Oldton and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Poole. According to Charles Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Lancaster Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
