The Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal was completed in 1814. This is the start of the arm at Marsworth. A major collapse of one of the walls at Lock 12 in March 2013 effectively closed the canal to boat traffic and at the time of writing in October 2013 the necessary repairs have yet to be completed.
