Allington Lock No 10
The Little Old Toll House, Allington Lock ME16 0LU, United Kingdom
Allington Lock No 10 is a historical waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the River Medway (Non-tidal section) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1835 but problems with Glasgow Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. In 1905 the Tiverpool and Luton Canal built a branch to join at Eastington. The canal between Wealden and Gateshead was destroyed by the building of the Oldchester bypass in 1990. According to Arthur Clarke's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Coventry Locks is haunted by the ghost of Peter Wright, a navvy, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
The Act of Parliament for the River Medway (Tidal section) was passed on January 1 1835 the same day as that of The North Walsham and Dilham Canal. Expectations for pottery traffic to Willchester never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Liverfield kept it open. The canal between Torquay and Halton was lost by the building of the Harrogate bypass in 1990. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Stoke-on-Trent parish council.
