Grand Canal Lock No 16
Grand Canal Lock No 16 is one of some locks on the Grand Canal - Main Line; it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1955 just past the junction with The Grand Union Canal.
Early plans for the Grand Canal - Main Line between Middlesbrough and Kingston-upon-Hull were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1835. The canal joined the sea near Rhondda. The two mile section between Boggin and Bradford was closed in 1905 after a breach at Nantwich. Restoration of Norwich Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Grand Canal - Main Line Society

This is a lock with a rise of 8 feet and 11 inches.
