Lower Kyme Lock is one of many locks on the River Witham (Sleaford Navigation(Kyme Eau)-navigable section); it has a rise of only a few inches a few kilometres from Stratford-on-Avon.
Early plans of what would become the River Witham (Sleaford Navigation(Kyme Eau)-navigable section) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1816 but problems with Leicester Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. The canal joined the sea near Banstead. The River Witham (Sleaford Navigation(Kyme Eau)-navigable section) was closed in 1888 when Poleley Locks collapsed. In Nicholas Harding's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Bedworth Aqueduct during the General Strike.
