The Hanwell flight of locks is a series of ten locks on the Grand Junction Canal constructed between 1794 and 1805, representing an important engineering solution to the significant change in water level required at this location in Middlesex. The accompanying brick boundary wall of St Bernard's Hospital dates from the nineteenth century and reflects the institutional development of the area alongside the canal infrastructure. Together these structures demonstrate the interrelationship between industrial transport networks and local institutional growth during the Georgian and Victorian periods. The locks themselves remain significant examples of canal engineering from the early period of Britain's canal construction boom.
