![Hawkesbury Stop Lock and footbridge. Hawkesbury Stop Lock was constructed to guard against water loss between the Coventry Canal (which passes to the right of the photo) and the Oxford Canal, which arrived later on the scene: the drop is only about 15cm. Originally, there was no junction and no stop lock here: the Oxford Canal and Coventry Canal ran parallel to each other for about 1.5km further south to a stop lock at Longford Junction. This ludicrous arrangement was only terminated in 1802, when Hawkesbury Junction was constructed.

![Sutton Stop Lock, Oxford Canal, Warwickshire. This is where the present Oxford Canal meets the Coventry Canal at Hawkesbury Junction. The canal bends sharply to the west here as it approaches Hawkesbury, now a junction with the Coventry Canal. However in 1771, when this section of the Oxford Canal was built, it ran another mile on to Longford, and due to the usual wrangles of the time, the Coventry canal ran alongside it, unconnected. A court injunction forced the companies to construct a junction in 1777, but this was at Longford, not Hawkesbury. Here, the first junction was cut in 1803, then was widened in 1836, and bridged in 1837 (see [[[373788]]]). by Roger D Kidd – 10 June 2008](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/11/82/1118225_6f27fb14_120x120.jpg)


![Hawkesbury engine house. The engine house was built by the Coventry Canal Company in the early 19th century to house an engine to pump water supply for the canal. A Newcomen atmospheric engine was installed in 1821 and later the building was extended to house a further engine installed in 1837. By the 20th century, alternative water supplies were available and the engines were rarely used after 1913. The second engine was sold for scrap in WWII and the earliest was not removed until 1963, when the Newcomen Society rehoused it in the Thomas Newcomen Museum at Dartmouth. At the time of the photo, a fair bit of the roof seems to be missing. A comparative 2008 photo ( [[1124546]] ) shows the changes since 1981. by FCG – 1981](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/88/67/3886799_3092d604_120x120.jpg)
