Bath Locks ({{gbmapping|ST756643}}) are a series of locks, now six locks, situated at the start of the Kennet and Avon Canal, at Bath, England. Bath Bottom Lock, which is numbered as No 7 on the canal, is the meeting with the River Avon just south of Pulteney Bridge.[1] Alongside the lock is a side pond and pumping station which pumps water up the locks to replace that used each time the lock is opened.[2] The next stage of Bath Deep Lock is numbered 8/9 as two locks were combined when the canal was restored in 1976. A road constructed while the canal was in a state of disrepair passes over the original site of the lower lock.[3] The new chamber has a depth of {{convert|5.92|m|ftin}},[4] making it Britain's second deepest canal lock.[5] Just above the 'deep lock' is an area of water enabling the lock to refill and above this is Wash House Lock (number 10),[6] and soon after by Abbey View Lock (number 11), a grade II listed building[7] by which there is another pumping station and in quick succession Pulteney Lock (12) and Bath top Lock (13).[8] Above the top lock the canal passes through Sydney Gardens where it passes through two tunnels[9][10] and under two cast iron footbridges dating from 1800. Cleveland tunnel is {{convert|52.7|m|ft}} long and runs under Cleveland House, the former headquarters of the Kennet and Avon Canal Company. A trap-door in the tunnel roof was employed to exchange paperwork between clerks above and barges below.[11] This is now a grade II* listed building.[12] Many of the bridges over the canal are also listed buildings.[13][14][15][15][16][17][18] The locks were restored in 1968 by a collaboration involving staff from British Waterways and volunteer labour organised by the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust.[19] References1. ^{{cite web | title=Bath Bottom Lock | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442708 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 2. ^{{cite web | title=former engine house | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442710 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 3. ^{{cite web | title=Second Lock | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442716 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 4. ^{{cite web | title=Bath Deep Lock | work=Canal and River Trust | url=https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/bath-flight/deep-lock | accessdate=2014-12-30 }} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Deepest Canal Locks in England |work=Pennine Waterways |url=http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/locks.htm |accessdate=2007-10-02 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012153244/http://penninewaterways.co.uk/locks.htm |archivedate=12 October 2007 |deadurl=yes |df= }} 6. ^{{cite web | title=Wash House Lock | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442711 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 7. ^{{cite web | title=Abbey View Lock | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442714 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 8. ^{{cite web | title=Top Lock | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442717 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 9. ^{{cite web | title=Tunnel under Beckford Road | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442754 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 10. ^{{cite web | title=Tunnel under Cleveland House and Sydney Road | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442751 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 11. ^{{cite book |last=Pearson |first=Michael |authorlink= |title=Kennet & Avon Middle Thames:Pearson's Canal Companion |year=2003 |publisher=Central Waterways Supplies|location=Rugby |isbn=0-907864-97-X}} 12. ^{{cite web | title=Cleveland House | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=443799 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 13. ^{{cite web | title=Footbridge Adjoining Top Lock | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442749 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 14. ^{{cite web | title=Footbridge adjoining Wash House Lock | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442712 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 15. ^1 {{cite web | title=Footbridge over Canal | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442752 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 16. ^{{cite web | title=Canal Bridge | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=444245 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 17. ^{{cite web | title= Bridge over Canal | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442753 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 18. ^{{cite web | title= Canal Bridge (Pulteney Gardens) | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=442713 | accessdate=2006-09-04}} 19. ^{{cite web|title=Kennet & Avon Canal|url=http://www.waterways.org.uk/learning/historic_campaigns/kennet___avon_canal|publisher=Inland Waterways Association|accessdate=17 May 2011}} See also{{Portal|UK Waterways}}
