doing a study on Hanwell Locks Grand Union Canal, I need to find out the

engineering design problems with the Locks and how they were rectified.

I have produced a page on William Jessop here:

http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/RAjessop.htm

However, it is not very detailed.

This one is better:

Others to take a look at include:
