The Grand Union Canal near Common Moor Lock
This section of the Grand Union Canal from the River Thames at Brentford was opened in 1794. It was the first section of what was originally called the Grand Junction Canal. Its purpose was to provide a new, shorter and quicker transport route between London and Birmingham by connecting with a network of canals at Braunston near Daventry. When the canal reached Braunston in 1805 it cut 60 miles off the shortest alternative route.
This is the view from just east of Common Moor Lock near Croxley.

Common Moor lock 79
This is one of those rare locks with four gates paddles and two ground paddles. Opening them all up fills the lock very quickly when setting the lock for your boat. Not recommended though when your boat is actually in the lock, you may flood it if not careful. Common Moor is the name of an area of open land, a wildlife habitat, behind us. On the north-west bank modern apartments front the canal and with an open view opposite no doubt attract premium prices.
