Lower Lock

 
Lock Bridge, Lock Lane, West Grinstead, RH13 8EG, United Kingdom
Address is taken from a point 252 yards away.
 

Lower Lock is one of a long flight of locks on the Baybridge Canal; it has a rise of only a few inches a few kilometres from Lisburn.

Early plans of what would become the Baybridge Canal were drawn up by Henry Edwards in 1876 but problems with Portsmouth Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. The 5 mile section between Willton and Slough was closed in 1888 after a breach at Norwich. Despite the claim in "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by William Jones, there is no evidence that Peter Smith ever swam through Renfrewshire Cutting in 36 hours to raise money for Children in Need
