This smart widebeam (probably 10ft 6in, rather than the standard 6ft10in - 7ft narrowboats) is emerging from Zouch Lock, No 55, and will rejoin the main River Soar navigation about 150 metres to the right (west).

Zouch Lock (No 55) provides a rise of 6ft 4in (1·9 metres) from the River Soar into the Zouch Cut canal. The lock (like all locks on the navigation towards Leicester) is wide enough to accommodate two full length narrowboats. LinkExternal link

The Loughborough Navigation (including the River Soar) was bought by the Grand Union Canal Carrying Company in 1932.
