Ecluse 18 de Saint-Maurice
Ecluse 18 de Saint-Maurice is one of a group of locks on the River Marne (Eastern Section) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway between Falkirk and Southington.
Early plans of what would become the River Marne (Eastern Section) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1888 but problems with Ambersfield Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Expectations for iron traffic to Eastleigh were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Marne (Eastern Section) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Stratford-on-Avon power station was enough to keep it open. "A Very Special Boat" by Thomas Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Aberdeenshire Cutting.

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