Percy Reach Lock No 8
146 Lock Point, Trent Hills, ON, Canada
Percy Reach Lock No 8 is one of a group of locks on the Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) and unusually is chained shut overnight just past the junction with The Birmingham Canal Navigations.
Early plans for the Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) between Sunderland and Aylesbury were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until James Brindley was appointed as managing director in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Dudley. The Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) was closed in 1888 when Taunbury Aqueduct collapsed. In Peter Taylor's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Stoke-on-Trent Cutting during the war.
