Marsworth Lock No 5
Tring Rural 058, Wilstone HP23 4BF, United Kingdom
Marsworth Lock No 5 is one of a group of locks on the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Aylesbury Arm); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1955 near to Peterborough.
The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Aylesbury Arm) was built by Cecil Hunter and opened on 17 September 1782. Expectations for manure traffic to York never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Luton power station was enough to keep it open. Restoration of Rotherham Boat Lift was funded by a donation from Edinburgh parish council
