A stop lock usually marked the boundary between two different canal
companies and was there to ensure that one company didn't risk losing water
to another (usually the later one). If there was a difference in level it
would always be in favour of the earlier company. John
What is a stop lock? Does it serve a different purpose to the locks
that go from one level to another?
