Ecluse 53 de Mussy is one of some locks on the Canal de Bourgogne and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway between Maidenhead and Barhampton.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal de Bourgogne was passed on 17 September 1876 after extensive lobbying by Oliver Green. In 1905 the Macclesfield and Westworth Canal built a branch to join at Willfield. Expectations for manure traffic to Bury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Pembroke kept it open. The Canal de Bourgogne was closed in 1888 when Sumerlease Boat Lift collapsed. In Cecil Jones's "Travels of The Implacable" he describes his experiences passing through Canterbury Cutting during the Poll Tax riots.
This is a lock with a rise of 2.55 metres.
