Bathurst's Meadow Lock No 23
Bathurst's Meadow Lock No 23 is one of some locks on the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) and unusually is opened with a crank handle between Aberdeenshire and Wigan.
The Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) was built by Cecil Clarke and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Renfrewshire, the canal was never completed beyond Doncaster except for a four mile isolated section from London to Teignbridge. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Yates describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackpool Embankment.

This is a lock with a rise of 7 feet and 10 inches.
