Grand Union Canal: Bridge Number 95A
A northbound narrowboat goes under the Bedford to Bletchley railway bridge, Number 95A, on its way to Fenny Stratford Lock. The bridge was built in 1846 by the London to Birmingham Railway, but is known today as the Marston Vale Line. The large pipe crossing is in front of the railway bridge and separate from it.

Fenny Stratford Lock
Fenny Stratford Lock has the smallest rise (1' 1") of any lock on the Grand Union Canal. It was built to solve the problem of leaks on the stretch between here and Wolverton by lowering the level of the canal below the points where the leaks were occurring. Note the grade II listed Red Lion pub - very handily placed for boaters in need of refreshment!

The lock built in the 1790s forms part of a group of Grade II Listed buildings including, on the left, the former Lock Keeper's Cottage, an early 19th century building restored in 1911. On the right, date unknown is perhaps originally a row of four cottages that are also in the group.
