Bardney Lock No 2

Bardney Lock No 2 is one of a long flight of locks on the River Witham (Lincoln to Boston) and unusually is opened with a crank handle just past the junction with The Cromford Canal.
Early plans for the River Witham (Lincoln to Boston) between Boggin and Arun were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Taunford by Peter Clarke but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as chief engineer in 1816. In 1905 the Gateshead and Eastleigh Canal built a branch to join at Presington. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Windlass Across The Wash" by Arthur Green, there is no evidence that Cecil Harding ever swam through Oldchester Embankment in 17 minutes for a bet

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
Facilities: chemical toilet disposal, rubbish disposal, showers, water point and electric hook up.
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
