Grand Union Canal: Aylesbury Arm: Puttenham Bottom Lock No 11
This is the lower of the pair of Puttenham Locks. For the upper one please see
Image The Canal and River Trust are currently requesting that these locks are left empty after use. The white deposits on the side walls of the lock are the remnants of the foam that filled the entire surface of the lock before it was emptied.
Unlike the unlisted top lock this is a Grade II Listed structure.

Puttenham Bottom Lock ? Lock 11 on the Aylesbury Arm
A typical lock on the Arm – which takes a single narrowboat. It has a single top gate with the paddle built into the wall (rather than in the gate itself) and a pair of bottom gates, each with a paddle.

Bridge No. 7, Aylesbury Arm at Puttenham
The Aylesbury Arm connects the Grand Union Canal at Marsworth Junction, via the villages of Wilstone and Puttenham, to the centre of Aylesbury. Completed in 1815, the original ambitious (if not grandiose) plan was to link the Grand Union Canal, via the River Thames at Abingdon, to the Kennet and Avon and Wilts and Berks canals, but all that was completed was the 10 km spur to Aylesbury. Today, the canal basin at Aylesbury forms the focal point for a major city centre development by the Council and the British Waterways Board.
