Hatton Locks

Hatton Locks
canalrivertrust.org.uk/places-to-visit/hatton-locks

Hatton's famous 'stairway to heaven' flight of 21 locks has a fascinating history. State of the art locks were built at Hatton to fight off stiff competition from the roads and railways and widened in the 1930s. When the locks were completed, bands played and crowds gathered to watch the Duke of Kent arrive by boat and cut the ribbon.
Today Hatton Locks is a lovely peaceful location to watch the colourful narrowboats as they move through this flight on the Grand Union Canal and if that's too much excitement why not enjoy a picnic along the towpath.

Hi Erhard,

Thank you for visiting. These are a big part of the English tradition of transport before the railways. Glad you enjoyed them.

Best wishes

My Dear Füsun,

I am so pleased that you like it! Thank you so much.
Canals came before the railways, and helped to make Britain great...!
Of course you will remember Pontcysyllte and Llangollen canals, also Stourport..

Love Peter
