Bridgford Lock, Grantham Canal
Lock number 2 on this disused canal. It is believed that the lock gates here were removed in the 1950s. Luckily someone had the foresight to build a weir at this time to maintain the water level otherwise this stretch of the canal would be dry.

Gamston Lock, #2 on the Grantham Canal
The canal runs for 33 miles between Grantham and the River Trent at West Bridgford. The canal, which opened in 1797 and was abandoned in 1936, is now mostly derelict. The canal had 18 locks, most of which have been demolished. Since the 1970s, the Grantham Canal Society have been working towards restoring the canal, and two stretches are now navigable.

Grantham Canal information board
This informative board has been sited by the new footbridge over the Bridgford lock. The bridge allows direct access from the new Gamston residential housing to the towpath along the canal which is developing into a valuable recreational resource along its 33 miles between the River Trent, Nottingham and Grantham.
