![Passing through Lock 14 (9) Opening the paddle on the bottom gate. The bottom gates on all the locks on the Aylesbury Arm are double, and half the width of the top gate. Double gates are used, because a single gate would need more space to open and this would mean a longer lock that used more water. Water availability was a major issue when the locks were built in the early 19th century.The gates on the locks on the Aylesbury Arm are padlocked “to save water†- but really to prevent vandalism by someone without authority opening the paddles and draining the canal.Once unlocked the windlass (or lock key) is engaged with the mechanism and the paddle is raised.[[1228440]]Follow this narrowboat: [[1483789]].Next: [[1483797]].See also: [[1442979]]. by Chris Reynolds – 08 September 2009](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/48/37/1483798_368d8de8_120x120.jpg)
![Passing through Lock 14 (10) Emptying the lock. As the paddles on the bottom gates are opened the water rushes out through slots in the side walls.Note the bright green vegetation growing on the outside of the bottom gate. This is a sheltered high humidity location which never gets flooded, and soon gets colonised with damp loving plants.[[1228440]]Follow this narrowboat: [[1483789]].Next: [[1483796]].See also: [[1442979]]. by Chris Reynolds – 08 September 2009](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/48/37/1483797_ee70186c_120x120.jpg)
![Passing through Lock 14 (13) Starting to leave Lock 14. Once the lock is empty the bottom gates can be opened and the narrowboat emerge. Once the boat is clear of the lock the gates can be closed, the paddles lowered and the person doing this comes down the slope and steps back onto the boat. As can be seen by the arch, there is a bridge immediately below the lock. This is a common arrangement, which makes the most of the fall in levels to minimise the “hump†of the hump-backed bridges. (Some of the most distinct humps are over parts of the canal where there is no lock.)[[1228440]]Follow this narrowboat: [[1483789]].Next: [[1483793]].See also: [[1442979]] and [[1442978]]. by Chris Reynolds – 08 September 2009](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/48/37/1483794_fab0c774_120x120.jpg)
![Passing through Lock 14 (11) Going down. As the water slowly drains out of the lock the narrowboat disappears from view. The typical fall of a lock means that the roof of the narrowboat in an empty lock is such that it is easy to step from the lock wall onto the boat, or vice versa.[[1228440]]Follow this narrowboat: [[1483789]].Next: [[1483795]].See also: [[1442979]]. by Chris Reynolds – 08 September 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/48/37/1483796_7b39ffcc_120x120.jpg)
![Passing through Lock 14 (12) Opening the bottom gate. Once the lock is empty it is possible to open the lower gates. There are a series of raised bricks to provide better grip when pushing the gates open.[[1228440]]Follow this narrowboat: [[1483789]].Next: [[1483794]].See also: [[1442979]]. by Chris Reynolds – 08 September 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/48/37/1483795_732c89af_120x120.jpg)

![Passing through Lock 14 (8) Dropping the paddle on the top gate. The narrowboat is now safely in the lock and the lock gate has been closed. The fender is little more than a foot from the bottom gates – showing how tight the fit is.The next stage is to close the paddles at the top gate, to stop further water entering the lock.[[1228440]]Follow this narrowboat: [[1483789]].Next: [[1483798]].See also: [[1442979]]. by Chris Reynolds – 08 September 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/48/37/1483799_49ed284c_120x120.jpg)
![Passing through Lock 14 (6) Entering Lock 14. Once the lock is full the top gate can be opened and the narrow boat can be brought in.The raised racks can be clearly seen on either side of the gate.[[1228440]]Follow this narrowboat: [[1483789]].Next: [[1483800]].See also: [[1442979]]. by Chris Reynolds – 08 September 2009](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/48/38/1483801_7c2354a4_120x120.jpg)
![Passing through Lock 14 (5) Filling Lock 14. The lock was empty so needs to be filled by raising the paddles. Unlike the wider locks on the Grand Union Canal, there is only one top gate on the locks on the Aylesbury Arm..The paddles are in channels in the walls of the lock and they can be seen to be raised by the height of the rack. The water is rushing into the lock, as can be seen by its turbulent surface.The ladder in the foreground was added some years ago for health and safety reasons, in case anyone fell in the lock when it was empty with both gates closed.[[1228440]]Follow this narrowboat: [[1483789]].Next: [[1483801]].See also: [[1442979]]. by Chris Reynolds – 08 September 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/48/38/1483803_c585c9e9_120x120.jpg)
![Passing through Lock 14 (7) Entering Lock 14. The narrow boat is now almost completely in the lock and as it can be seen it is a tight fit. All the locks on the canal are of a standard length and barges and narrow boats were designed to fit them.However the locks on the Aylesbury Arm are half the width of the lock on the main route of the Grand Union Canal . They will only take narrowboats and will not allow full size canal barges to pass.[[1228440]]Follow this narrowboat: [[1483789]].Next: [[1483799]].See also: [[1442979]]. by Chris Reynolds – 08 September 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/48/38/1483800_4a1d7934_120x120.jpg)
![Passing through Lock 14 (14) Leaving the lock and under Bridge 15. The narrowboat emerges from under Bridge 15 on the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal.Note the diagonal brickwork under the bridge arch. This is because the road over the bridge crosses the canal at an angle.[[1228440]]Follow this narrowboat: [[1483789]].Next: [[1483792]].See also: [[1442979]] and [[1442978]]. by Chris Reynolds – 08 September 2009](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/48/37/1483793_8d29d2a8_120x120.jpg)
