Dist:0.5km north<br/>Photographed from the Moorhall Road bridge, the canal is wider than usual here. Beyond the fence to the right is the garden of The Horse and Barge Public House.

Dist:0.6km west<br/>Photographed from the Moorhall Road bridge, this is Lock No. 86 and its associated lock keeper's cottage. As its name suggests, the canal is wider than usual here, both upstream and downstream of the lock. Curiously the lock has a formal BWB site nameplate calling it "Wide Water", but searching for the name "Wide Water" and "lock" in Google produces 1 hit, whereas "Widewater" and "lock" produces 116 hits. To confuse matters even further the structure is also known as Harefield Moor Lock!
