Summary
[edit]DescriptionHatton Locks No 44, Warwickshire - geograph.org.uk - 1708636.jpg |
English: Hatton Locks No 44, Warwickshire There are twenty-one wide locks in the two mile flight at Hatton on the Grand Union Canal. This image shows leaking gates and chamber of the third lock down from the top. Together, the locks change the water level of the navigation by 146ft 6in (44.6 metres). Despite their size they fill and empty quickly, being very well maintained. The low gearing of the paddles takes a lot of winding though!
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, and by many of the current wide locks. http://www.waterscape.com/features-and-articles/features/the-history-of-hatton-locks |
