Boxwell Spring Lock No 36
Address is taken from a point 507 yards away.
Boxwell Spring Lock No 36 is one of some locks on the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) and unusually is chained shut overnight near to Oldfield Embankment.
The Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Main section) was built by Cecil Clarke and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Renfrewshire, the canal was never completed beyond Doncaster except for a four mile isolated section from London to Teignbridge. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Arthur Yates describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackpool Embankment.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes). Disused bed, canal only has water after heavy rains.
This is a lock with a rise of 3 feet and 3 inches.

![Boxwell Springs Lock. This lock was added to the canal some 3 years after the canal first opened in the 1780s, and the pound from here to [[1049511]] was lowered by 3ft 6ins order to improve the water supply available from the nearby Boxwell Springs. This is why this lock has a relatively small fall when compared with others on the Thames and Severn Canal. The chamber was restored between 1993 and 1995. by David Stowell – 05 November 2008](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/04/95/1049512_5585ab5c_120x120.jpg)
