Stroudwater Lock No 12
Stroudwater Lock No 12 is one of many locks on the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Abandoned Section); it has a rise of only a few inches near to Bedford Tunnel.
Early plans of what would become the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Abandoned Section) were drawn up by Charles Taylor in 1782 but problems with Sumerlease Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. The three mile section between Westcester and Lancaster was closed in 1905 after a breach at Tiverchester. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Abandoned Section) Society.

This is a lock with a rise of 5 feet and 11 inches.

This telephoto assisted image foreshortens the boat considerably compared to the other image which reveals the boat to be about 60 feet or more long. The Stroudwater Canal, not navigable at present, is off to the right by the house.See also [[[2978347]]] by Roger D Kidd – 29 May 2012](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/97/89/2978957_f1fc7990_120x120.jpg)

Past the Junction Bridge House is the mainly un-navigable Stroudwater Canal, though this is gradually being restored to renew the link between the Thames and Severn rivers.[[[2982123]]] by Roger D Kidd – 29 May 2012](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/98/21/2982172_d862fedd_120x120.jpg)
