Celebrate the engineering marvel of the Kennet and Avon Canal with this comfortable unisex softstyle tee. Featuring the iconic Caen Hill Locks in Devizes, this shirt captures one of Britain's most impressive waterway achievements. Perfect for canal enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone who appreciates stunning British heritage. The soft, breathable fabric makes it ideal for everyday wear, whether you're exploring the towpath or relaxing at home. A wearable tribute to a timeless landmark.
The 16 locks that form the steepest part of the Devizes flight at Caen Hill are not only a scheduled ancient monument, they are an Olympic-sized challenge every boater must do. This 'wonder of the waterway' is a rite of passage.
Caen Hill (pronounced ‘cane'), is one of the longest continuous flight of locks in the country. With a total of 29 locks with a rise of 237 feet over two miles with a 1-in-44 gradient.
Where does the water come from?
The flight of 29 Locks at Caen Hill, Devizes, is on the west side of the Kennet and Avon Canal.
Because there are no large water sources on this side of the canal, water is pumped into the canal from the Bristol Avon at Claverton, 13 miles away, and then pumped up around each flight of locks.
Feeders (diverted streams) also bring smaller amounts of water into the system.
Crofton Reservoir (Wilton Water) is a small groundwater reservoir from which a generous supply is pumped to the Summit Pound, and may contribute water at the top of Caen Hill.
Each lock uses approximately 123,000 litres of water, and fills and empties over 2,000 times a year.
The Gildan Softstyle® 64000 redefines casual comfort with a modern unisex cut and ultra-soft materials. Solid colours are 100% cotton, while heathers and sport grey use polyester blends for added durability. Shoulders are reinforced with twill tape, there are no side seams for a smoother fit, and the ribbed-knit collar helps prevent curling. Whether for printing or everyday wear, the Gildan 64000 stands out as a dependable wardrobe staple.
