Midgham Lock No 92
Midgham Lock, Midgham Bridge, Midgham RG7 5XA, United Kingdom
Midgham Lock No 92 is one of a long flight of locks on the River Kennet; it has a rise of only a few inches just past the junction with The Bernigo Canal.
Early plans for the River Kennet between Willworth and Bournemouth were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until James Brindley was appointed as engineer in 1816. In 1955 the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Polestone Canal built a branch to join at Bury. Expectations for pottery traffic to Polstan never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between St Helens and Portsmouth was lost by the building of the M8 Motorway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Kennet Society.
