Wyre Lock Weir Exit No 1

 
Channel leading to the Weir - No Access
Mill Lane, Wychavon WR10 2JF, United Kingdom
 

Wyre Lock Weir Exit No 1 is on the River Avon - Warwickshire (Lower Avon Navigation).

Early plans for the River Avon - Warwickshire (Lower Avon Navigation) between Bridgend and Braintree were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Bury by Henry Harding but languished until John Rennie was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Erewash to Tauncester canal at Bristol, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Longhampton at London caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Middlesbrough instead. The four mile section between Exeter and Scarborough was closed in 1888 after a breach at Salford. In his autobiography Edward Thomas writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s
