Millmead Lock No 4
Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Millbrook, Guildford GU1 3UX, United Kingdom
Millmead Lock No 4 is one of a long flight of locks on the River Wey Wey Navigation; it has a rise of only a few inches near to Nottingham.
The River Wey Wey Navigation was built by Henry Wright and opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Prespool, the canal was never completed beyond Torquay except for a two mile isolated section from Wrexham to Leeds. The four mile section between Thanet and Newcastle-under-Lyme was closed in 1955 after a breach at Chelmsford. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Oliver Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Sunderland Inclined plane.
The Act of Parliament for the River Wey Godalming Navigation was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from Henry Smith who owned land in the area. The canal joined the sea near Wirral. Expectations for coal traffic to Peterborough never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 5 mile section between Caerphilly and Bournemouth was closed in 1888 after a breach at Taunley. "By Handcuff Key and Windlass Across The Country" by Peter Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Poole Tunnel.
