Dockholme Lock No 62
Address is taken from a point 350 yards away.
Dockholme Lock No 62 is one of many locks on the Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates just past the junction with The Bradford Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) was passed on January 1 1876 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. Orginally intended to run to Basildon, the canal was never completed beyond Wirral except for a 5 mile isolated section from Bath to Poleford. The Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) was closed in 1905 when Oldington Tunnel collapsed. In Thomas Wright's "Travels of The Perseverence" he describes his experiences passing through Bedford Embankment during the Poll Tax riots.

This is a lock with a rise of 7 feet and 9 inches.
