This lock is a set of gates at the end of a canal section, used to raise or lower boats between two different water levels. The lock has a length of 18.03 meters, a width of 4.39 meters, and a draft of 1.83 meters. It is one of the 53 locks on the Grand Union Canal Main Line, a 137-mile long canal that connects London to Birmingham. The lock's gates are operated manually by pushing and pulling large wooden beams, and the lock's chamber is lined with brick and stone. The surrounding area is industrial, with warehouses and factories nearby, but there are also walking paths and green spaces along the canal.
