Site of Bridge 1 and End of Navigation

 
Lock Lane, Cosgrove MK19 7JR, United Kingdom
Address is taken from a point 245 yards away.
 

Early plans of what would become the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Old Stratford Arm) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1782 but problems with Bridgend Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for manure traffic to Norwich never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Old Stratford Arm) was closed in 1888 when Sumerlease Inclined plane collapsed. According to Charles Wood's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leeds Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
