Upper Wellingborough Lock No 13
A45, Little Irchester NN8 2ED, United Kingdom
Upper Wellingborough Lock No 13 is one of many locks on the River Nene (main river); it has a rise of only a few inches near to St Helens Locks.
Early plans for the River Nene (main river) between Ambersfield and Easthampton were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Warrington, the canal was never completed beyond Tauncorn. The River Nene (main river) was closed in 1905 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Salford Locks.
