Summary
[edit]DescriptionLapworth Locks No 19 at Kingswood, Warwickshire - geograph.org.uk - 1713892.jpg |
English: Lapworth Locks No 19 at Kingswood, Warwickshire There are twenty-six locks in the Lapworth flight on the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. Together they change the water level by 158ft 6in (about 52 metres) over about two and a half miles... and there are more locks at regular intervals south of those! However, navigating from top to bottom of the flight will only involve passing through twenty-five locks, because Nos 20 and 21 are paired, the former being on the bypass towards the quarter mile link to the Grand Union Canal.
The basin/reservoir on the left of the pound below this lock is now used as a spacious marina. Another reservoir to the left and level with the water above the lock is surely destined for similar treatment. This image from Wikimaps should clarify the layout of the canal system south of this lock: http://wikimapia.org/3865307/Lapworth-Link-Junction . |
