City Road Lock No 5
Hanover Primary School, Regent's Canal towpath, London N1 8HB, United Kingdom
City Road Lock No 5 is one of many locks on the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) near to Arun Cutting.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) between Luton and Reigate were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. From a junction with The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Newley the canal ran for 17 miles to Kirklees. Expectations for pottery traffic to Tendring were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Jones's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Sheffield Locks during a thunderstorm.
