EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1789 when the Thames and Severn Canal was first opened in England. The image showcases Dudgrove double lock, located just above Lechlade, a picturesque town in Gloucestershire. Serving as an essential connection between the canal and the river, Dudgrove was the second lock on this remarkable engineering feat designed by Robert Whitworth. The print, published in London in 1814, beautifully captures the tranquil waters of this inland waterway. Stretching about three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km) from the Thames, Dudgrove stands as a testament to Britain's rich history of civil engineering excellence. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back to a time when canals were vital for transportation and trade across England. The meticulously crafted double lock gate is a symbol of human ingenuity and innovation that allowed boats to navigate through different water levels along their journey. This print not only offers us a glimpse into our past but also serves as a reminder of how infrastructure has shaped our present-day society. It is an ode to those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to create efficient transport networks that connected communities and fueled economic growth. Let this image be an inspiration for future generations as they continue pushing boundaries and finding new ways to improve our world through engineering marvels like the Thames and Severn Canal.
