Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Hatton Locks No 43, Warwickshire. There are twenty-one wide locks in the two mile flight at Hatton on the Grand Union Canal. This view across the top end of Lock No 43 shows the entrance to the original disused narrow lock in the foreground, and the wide lock being used by a pair of narrowboats beyond. 1709350
The Warwick and Birmingham Canal was opened in 1799, and is one of eight, owned by different companies, which eventually came together as the Grand Union Canal in 1929. Following this move, in 1932 the locks in the Hatton flight were widened to allow two narrowboats of seven foot beam to use them, side by side. The remains of the original narrow locks can be seen here on the right, and by many of the current wide locks. http://www.waterscape.com/features-and-articles/features/the-history-of-hatton-locks |
