Description
Lock Number 34 is a narrow lock built between 1812 and 1816, with restoration work carried out in the 1960s. It features a brick chamber with brick and stone coping, and has single wooden gates. The top gate is equipped with ground paddle gearing, while the bottom gate has gate paddle gearing. The South Stratford Canal, where this lock is located, was constructed from 1793 to 1816 at a cost of £500,000. In 1960, 13.5 miles of the canal, stretching from Kingswood Junction in Lapworth to Stratford-upon-Avon, was leased by the National Trust from the British Waterways Board for restoration, and the Trust acquired the freehold around 1964.
