Bradford Lock, Canal lock in Bradford on Avon, England
Bradford Lock features a chamber with dual gates that enables boats to navigate different water levels on the Kennet and Avon Canal system.
The lock dates back to the construction of the Kennet and Avon Canal in 1794, when it formed part of a vital transportation network across England.
The lock and adjacent historical structures, including a 14th-century tithe barn and Wharfinger's House, reflect the industrial heritage of Bradford on Avon.
The lock maintains a water level difference of 12 feet 6 inches and provides mooring spaces for boats both above and below its chamber.
The pound below Bradford Lock extends for ten miles toward Bath Locks, making it the second-longest pound on the Kennet and Avon Canal.
