Dimensions

Locks are 14ft wide, but a tight turn restricts passage to long narrowboats or short broad-beam boats - long, broad-beam boats may not be able to pass. Owners of broad-beam boats should contact the waterway office for more details.

Anything up to 10ft is the recommended maximum beam, due to restrictions at the Sewer Pipe crossing. All lengths can be lowered if required, though this would be dependent on inspection by the operational staff.
