Mountsorrel Lock is No 50 on the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section)/Soar Navigation, and provides a rise (or fall) of 4ft 1in (1·25 metres). As with all other locks on this section, it is wide enough to accommodate two narrowboats. Bridge No 24 carries Sileby Road, yet is labelled as Mountsorrel Road Bridge.
