Ballinger's Lock No 12
Ballinger's Lock No 12 is one of many locks on the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) and unusually is chained shut overnight just past the junction with The River Witham.
The Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) was built by Cecil Clarke and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Renfrewshire, the canal was never completed beyond Doncaster except for a four mile isolated section from London to Teignbridge. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Yates describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackpool Embankment.

This is a lock with a rise of 7 feet and 10 inches.
