Atherstone Locks No 3 in Warwickshire
Lock No 3, looking south (uphill).
On the Coventry Canal, the Atherstone flight of eleven locks lowers (or raises) the water level by eighty feet (24.4 metres) over about two miles (three kilometres). As the canal company had run out of money by 1771 when it reached Atherstone on its course from Coventry, these locks and the rest of the route were constructed later, eventually arriving at Fazeley in 1790.
