The Leicester arm of the Grand Union Canal, opened in 1812, had two flights of five locks at Foxton, causing great congestion of boat traffic. So in 1898 they added the remarkable inclined plane: boats entered great caissons on wheels, which ran on rails up and down the slope. They were nicely in time for the railways to render the whole operation uneconomic. Adult £3, child free. (updated Jun 2021)
