Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Sutton Stop Lock, Oxford Canal, Warwickshire This is known as Sutton Stop after the family name of the lock keepers here for more than half of the nineteenth century. The junction beyond is where the present Oxford Canal meets the Coventry Canal at Hawkesbury. However, in 1771, when this section of the Oxford Canal was built, it ran another mile on to Longford, and due to the usual wrangles of the time, the Coventry canal ran alongside it, unconnected. A court injunction forced the companies to construct a junction in 1777, but this was at Longford, not Hawkesbury. The first junction here was made in 1803. This lock only lowers the water by a few inches. It was supposed to prevent the Coventry Canal Company "stealing" water belonging to the Oxford Company! |
