Bone Mill Lock
Address is taken from a point 337 yards away.
Bone Mill Lock is one of many locks on the River Witham (Sleaford Navigation - un-navigable section); it has a rise of only a few inches.
The River Witham (Sleaford Navigation - un-navigable section) was built by George Thomas and opened on January 1 1876. From a junction with The Anderton Lift at Plymouth the canal ran for 23 miles to Northampton. Expectations for pottery traffic to Polehampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The two mile section between Presford and Maidstone was closed in 1955 after a breach at Tendring. Restoration of Wesston Embankment was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Witham (Sleaford Navigation - un-navigable section) campaign
