That bit of cut was opened in living memory (well, in mine),although it was a re-instatement of the original line before the other branch of the branh through its own lock was built. But unless the levels were changed at some time, I dont see how there could have been a lock where you;re taking about. Well, unless it was a stop-lock to separate the waters of two different canal companies. I don't recall offhand which company built the Kingswood Branch. I seem to think it was the Stratford CC, in which case ths top lock should have been at the Kingswood end rather than the Lapworth end. SO parhaps the branch was built by the Warwick & Birmingham. Anybody know? Mike Stevens narrowboat Felis Catus III web-site www.mike-stevens.co.uk No man is an island. So is Man.
