Repairs were quoted at £16,000—equivalent to £1,985,594 in 2023—which was in addition to the £75,167 (£9,328,196) already invested in the caisson project. In January 1800, the caissons were abandoned and an alternative sought.

The same publication wrote the following year that the system was so simple that a boat could traverse the caisson in just 10 minutes under the operation of a 12-year-old boy.

November 1898; transport would continue to operate until

The deviation of a few hundred yards from the road to
Combhay, leads us to the hydrostatical lock, called the caisson, the bason of which now alone remains the machine was consigned to destruction, but not to oblivion, since it will ever remain a memorable proof of the superior mechanical abilities

The precise location of the caisson locks (or their intended location) is in doubt. General consensus is that the completed caisson lock was accessed east of the basin near
Caisson House. The second caisson was likely a short distance to the east, with the third a considerable distance downstream

In addition to the three extant locks below the inclined plane, a further 19 locks were built to supersede the plane. Fundraising began in
February 1800, initially via shareholder donations totalling £20,000 (equivalent to £2,039,673 in 2023). In 1802, a fund established by the canal company

Construction of the first caisson lock began in 1796. The masonry chamber, known as the cistern, was 81 feet (25 m) long and 20 feet (6.1 m) at its widest, and had a depth of 61 feet 6 inches (18.75 m). The wooden caisson—the moving box within the cistern—was 80 feet
799:
A building near the summit of the flight, Caisson House, is named for its proximity to the first caisson lock. The building is likely a former terrace of cottages built for the canal company in the 1830s (and therefore the removal of the caisson lock predates the cottages' construction).
636:
It is a pleasure to reflect that the hydrostatical contrivance for conveying of boats from upper to lower levels and vice versa, is completed, and may now be esteemed one of the greatest discoveries of the age; every scrupulous objection to the practability of its operation being

Somerset Coal Canal could fit side by side in the broad Kennet and Avon locks.

Construction began on the flight in
November 1802, with the first lock (lock 19) being completed in June 1804. During the works, the caisson lock was demolished and it is likely that the significant amount of masonry was reclaimed for use on the lock flight as

General restoration work began on the lower lock flight (below the Bull's Nose) in 2000. This work was expanded to cover the upper flight in 2011, as landowner permission needed to be sought. This work was undertaken alongside the

The canal company investigated alternatives to the caisson locks, and a lock flight was chosen as the appropriate method. To achieve this, in June 1800 the company made the decision to build a temporary

To achieve the climb in the available area, the lock flight diverted north of the caisson and inclined plane routes, before turning 170° and rejoining the route to the south. This
