Tringford Stop Lock (remains of) is on the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Wendover Arm - restored section) a short distance from Middlesbrough.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Wendover Arm - restored section) was passed on January 1 1782 after extensive lobbying by Exuperius Picking Junior. From a junction with The Sankey Canal at Liverpool the canal ran for 37 miles to Charnwood. Expectations for pottery traffic to Ipswich were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Wendover Arm - restored section) were submitted to parliament in 2001, the carriage of sea sand from St Helens to Perth prevented closure. Restoration of Castlebury Boat Lift was funded by a donation from the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Wendover Arm - restored section) Society

![Grand Union Canal (Wendover Arm): Little Tring Stop Lock. The main cause of the closure of the Wendover Arm in 1904 was the excessive leakage of water through the banks, with the consequence that water was being drained out of the Tring summit level of the main Grand Union Canal. This stop lock was built at the time that the arm was closed to isolate the leaky section of the arm from the rest of the canal, with a view to reopening the canal should finances allow. That never happened, but the arm has now been made navigable by the Wendover Arm Trust for some 400 metres beyond the lock up to [[3736906]] where it has been formally blocked. The stop lock is therefore now permanently open. As can be seen, and unlike usual locks, this one never served to change the water level. by Nigel Cox – 12 September 2013](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/73/68/3736897_103a780a_120x120.jpg)
