Wash House Lock No 10 is one of many locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) .
The Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Oldton and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Poole. According to Charles Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Lancaster Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
This is a lock with a rise of 8 feet and 6 inches.
