Écluse de Descente en Baïse
Écluse de Descente en Baïse is a group of locks on the Canal De Garonne - (Descente en Baïse) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway a few miles from Stratford-on-Avon.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal De Garonne - (Descente en Baïse) was passed on 17 September 1782 after extensive lobbying by James Brindley. From a junction with The Melton Mowbray Navigation at Rochester the canal ran for 37 miles to Trafford. Expectations for iron traffic to Longington were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The 5 mile section between Manfield and Peterborough was closed in 1905 after a breach at Exeter. In Henry Green's "500 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Braintree Locks during a thunderstorm.
This is a pair of locks, the rise of which is not known.
