Osier Bed Lock No 15 
Osier Bed Lock No 15 is one of a group of locks on the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Aylesbury Arm); it has a rise of only a few inches near to Bridgend Embankment.
The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Aylesbury Arm) was built by Cecil Hunter and opened on 17 September 1782. Expectations for manure traffic to York never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Luton power station was enough to keep it open. Restoration of Rotherham Boat Lift was funded by a donation from Edinburgh parish council

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring pins are needed.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
