Ufton Lock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 administered by British Waterways.[1] The rise and fall was a mere 1 ft 9 in (0.5 m).[2]
Ufton Lock was removed in the 1970s during restoration, with the lock gates being removed, and Towney Lock deepened to cope with the different water levels.[3]
