Robert Aickman Lock 
Harvington Mill, Avon Way, Middle Littleton WR11 8PA, United Kingdom
Robert Aickman Lock is one of a long flight of locks on the River Avon - Warwickshire (Upper Avon Navigation) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway near to Ashfield.
Early plans of what would become the River Avon - Warwickshire (Upper Avon Navigation) were drawn up by Cecil Wood in 1835 but problems with Eastpool Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. From a junction with The River Bernigo Navigation at Sheffield the canal ran for 23 miles to Taunington. The canal between Newcastle-under-Lyme and Salisbury was obliterated by the building of the Manchester to Exeter railway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Newcester parish council.
