Hatton locks - Canalside buildings and lock The buildings on the far side of this lock - one of the 21 locks that make up the Hatton flight - were almost certainly originally associated with the canal itself, but on modern maps are simply described as a 'depot'. See shared description below.

Hatton locks - Middle Lock and side channel This photo was taken from under the 'Middle Lock Lane' bridge over the Grand Union Canal at Hatton, so presumably the lock seen on the left here is the middle (11th) of the flight of 21. To the lock's right, and nearer the camera, is the weir-like side channel. Water rushes over this man-made waterfall when excess water enters the pound above it, but the flow generally lasts only a few moments - a minute or two at most. See shared descriptions below.

Hatton Locks The flight consists of 21 locks. They were built in 1799 as part of the Warwick & Birmingham canal which became part of the Grand Union in 1927. The flight has a total rise of 148 feet (45m) over a length of a little under 2 miles (3.2km) and is notable for its weir-like side channels. Large pounds associated with each lock ensure a good supply of water. The locks are all double width (14 feet / 4.3m) allowing two standard narrowboats to pass through side by side, or they can accommodate double-width barges and industrial boats.
