The waterway stretches for 135 miles and has 160 locks stretching between the two largest cities in England; London and Birmingham. The present Grand Union Canal only came into being in 1929 after a series of separate canals were amalgamated. This was in response to competition from improvements in vehicle technology and the development of new roads which were seen as a threat to the canals.
