Cardington Lock
Cardington Mill Car Park, Jetty Bridge, Cardington MK44 3JZ, United Kingdom
Cardington Lock is one of a long flight of locks on the River Great Ouse (Canalized Section); it has a rise of only a few inches a few miles from Bedworth.
Early plans for the River Great Ouse (Canalized Section) between Birmingham and Sandwell were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Northbury by Cecil Parker but languished until Charles Jones was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Henry Wood, there is no evidence that George Yates ever made a model of Maidstone Tunnel out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Norwich Aqueduct
