I have removed the link to water saving pounds, as the side pounds at Caen Hill Locks do not save water. The pounds at Caen Hill Locks originate not from the lock chambers themselves but from the pounds between locks. Moggyland ( talk) 22:25, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
During my edit, I moved the images to float along the right side of the page. I removed the image sizes as they already had "thumb" in the image tag. As people have different preferences for the image size of "thumb", I felt that it would be best to edit a gallery in such a way that these images did not interfere with it.
If the thumbnail images were 200px or larger, they would start to affect the gallery, which is four images across. Cutting it down to just 3 images in width would prevent any such interference. - Erebus555 12:31, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
I just added a request for a citation showing that this is the steepest flight in the world. I also question the arithmetic on the gradient as I make it 1:44. Maybe 1:30 is the main flight, in which case the text needs clarifying. If I were trying to prove a record, I would look at the main flight of 16 locks (not 17, exclude the odd one at the bottom by the road bridge, which doesn't have the extended side pond). On a similar note, I don't recall coming across all 29 locks being referred to as caen hill locks; I thought that was just the main flight? Derek Andrews 13:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I am curious about the series of L-shaped extensions seen in the third photo. I assume by the posts above these are the pounds, which it appears are not for holding water. So what are they for? Maury Markowitz ( talk) 11:14, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
