The Grand Union Canal/Soar Navigation continues off to the right (north-east), two hundred metres to North Lock. This disused short arm and basin is on Frog Island beyond the purple towpath bridge. The canal here was engineered to improve the Soar Navigation flood management in the late nineteenth century.
