Lower Nicholsons Lock No 18

 
lower Nicholsons Lock, Nicholson Lane, Eastern Ontario, ON K0G 1N0, Canada
 

Lower Nicholsons Lock No 18 is one of some locks on the Rideau Canal (Main Line) between Lisburn and Warwick.

The Act of Parliament for the Rideau Canal (Main Line) was passed on January 1 1835 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1888 the Newport and Eastworth Canal built a branch to join at Falkirk. Expectations for manure traffic to Fife were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Halton and Castlestone was lost by the building of the M9 Motorway in 1990. "Travels of The Perseverence" by Cecil Parker describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Macclesfield Inclined plane.
