REBUILDING LOCK 14

KINGSTON’S Lock (Lock 14) Work commenced in July 2018 and building work is in progress

In November 2014 a small group from The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) visited the sites of Locks 12 to 15 to assess the application that had been made by The Canal and River Trust to rebuild the locks using voluntary labour. Following their visit it was announced that they had awarded £830,800 to rebuild Locks 14 and 15 and so commenced the Grantham Canal Waterway Heritage Initiative (GCHI). This sum was was then to be match funded by the Canal & River Trust and The Grantham Canal Society. The project was to take place over a 5 year period and, with the skills then obtained, volunteers would be able to proceed onto rebuilding locks 12 & 13.
