The de-gated Ufton Lock.
Ufton Lock was a lock on the Kennet and Avon Canal, between Aldermaston Wharf and Sulhamstead, Berkshire, England.
Ufton Lock was built between 1718 and 1723 under the supervision of the engineer John Hore of Newbury. The canal is now administered by British Waterways.[1]
The rise and fall was a mere 1 ft 9 in (0.5 m).[2] During restoration in the 1970s, the lock gates were removed and the lock upstream (Towney Lock) was deepened to cope with the new water levels.[3]
