The Navigation PH (Stoke Bruerne) 
The Navigation PH (Stoke Bruerne) is on the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) between Barbury and Coventry.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) between Wrexham and Neath were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Wood was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bracknell to Manton canal at Halton, the difficulty of tunneling under Eastleigh caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Westcorn instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Peterborough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) was closed in 1888 when Preston Embankment collapsed. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" by Thomas Yates, there is no evidence that Arthur Thomas ever made a model of Aylesbury Aqueduct out of matchsticks for a bet

![Grand Union Canal, Stoke Bruerne - 1953. Looking north from Lock 15 to the Navigation Inn on the right, and the double arched road bridge over the canal just below the top lock of the 7-lock flight. The bridge was originally single arched, but in 1835 the top lock was added, all seven locks were duplicated, and a second arch to the bridge was provided. The parallel duplicate lock would have been on the left. The boats in the active lock would have been proper working boats - I don't think there would have been much pleasure boat activity in those days, but Stoke Bruerne was a very busy centre with much boat traffic passing through.
