North America,
Japan, the
United Kingdom, and
New Zealand. His biography has recently come under much question as a result of what has come to be termed the

Constructed in 1875, the boat lift was designed by
Edward Leader Williams and
Edwin Clark. It originally used water-filled
hydraulic rams to support a pair of water-filled
caissons, which could each accommodate two
narrowboats or a single barge. Corrosion proved a problem with the hydraulic rams, which were replaced in 1908 by electric motors with a system of counterweights and overhead pulleys, designed by J.A. Saner.
The boat lift remained in use for over 100 years until it was closed due to corrosion in 1983. Restoration started in 2001 and the boat lift was re-opened in 2002. The lift and associated visitor centre and exhibition are operated by
British Waterways.
