Elton Lock No 32
Elton Lock No 32 is one of some locks on the River Nene (main river) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway.
Early plans for the River Nene (main river) between Ambersfield and Easthampton were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Warrington, the canal was never completed beyond Tauncorn. The River Nene (main river) was closed in 1905 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Salford Locks.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.

![Sluice gate. This is the weir gate seen in [[6998109]]. You can clearly see the segment wheels on either side which rotate to alter the angle of the gate, and hence its effective height. Gear teeth cut into the outer rim of the segment plates make it easy to rotate. by Bob Harvey – 22 October 2021](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/99/81/6998130_6669543c_120x120.jpg)
