Northampton Lock No 1
Mitre gates at both ends of this lock
Also known as: Becket's Park Lock
Portage point, Riverside Walk, Northampton NN1 1EY, United Kingdom
Northampton Lock No 1 is one of many locks on the River Nene (main river) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates.
Early plans for the River Nene (main river) between Ambersfield and Easthampton were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Warrington, the canal was never completed beyond Tauncorn. The River Nene (main river) was closed in 1905 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Salford Locks.
