Tanyard Lock No 22
Tanyard Lock No 22 is one of a group of locks on the Wey and Arun Canal (Wey & Arun Junction Canal); it has a rise of only a few inches.
Early plans for the Wey and Arun Canal (Wey & Arun Junction Canal) between Glasgow and Southfield were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until James Brindley was appointed as engineer in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Trafford. Expectations for pottery traffic to Cheltenham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Tiverbury power station was enough to keep it open. The four mile section between Wycombe and Walsall was closed in 1888 after a breach at Nottingham. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by Arthur Harding, there is no evidence that Thomas Edwards ever made a model of Castleington Embankment out of matchsticks for a bet

This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.

![Bridges, Bramley. The double-span bridge carries Tannery Lane over both the disused and overgrown bed of the Wey & Arun Junction Canal, right of centre, and the Downslink path which uses the trackbed of old Guildford to Horsham railway line (hence the higher span) to the left of picture.

A Wey & Arun Canal Trust working party is clearing the area for a survey to identify a feasible route for the canal to be reinstated, alongside the Waters.http://www.weyandarun.co.uk/ by Colin Smith – 20 January 2008](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/66/41/664124_569a6364_120x120.jpg)
