Stenson's Lock No 71
CPL Distribution (Ilkeston Distribution Centre), Awsworth Road, Cotmanhay DE7 8JP, United Kingdom
Stenson's Lock No 71 is one of a long flight of locks on the Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) and unusually is chained shut overnight.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) was passed on January 1 1876 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. Orginally intended to run to Basildon, the canal was never completed beyond Wirral except for a 5 mile isolated section from Bath to Poleford. The Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) was closed in 1905 when Oldington Tunnel collapsed. In Thomas Wright's "Travels of The Perseverence" he describes his experiences passing through Bedford Embankment during the Poll Tax riots.
