Canal bridge and adjoining lock. 1811-13. Engineer Henry Provis for
Grand Junction Canal company. Bridge of red brick in English-bond. Lock
of plum brick with long granite edging stones wooden gates and cast iron
domed bollards. A narrow hump-backed bride carrying Wingrave Road over
canal. A skew-arched bridge with round arch and 9" arch-ring. Battered
side-walls topped by narrow raised band at roadway level and parapet
walls with courses following the hump. Square projecting end piers
terminate the outswept ends of the parapets. E parapet renewed in buff
brick. An early example of a skew-bridge, little altered since arm
opened in 1815. Narrow lock to take a single narrowboat with its lower
end close to E side of bridge. Double gates to lower end with
gate-paddles only. Single gate at upper end hinged on N side of lock.
This end has ground paddles only, with gear set on timber posts. Stone
edging on S bank and brick adjoining on N bank extend about 8M to E of
entrance. Dated cast iron hinge anchor plate ('1851' at W end) is
probably re-used from elsewhere. (Branch Johnson(1970)118-9,122:
