Description

The lock and lockgates on the Stroudwater Canal, located at the junction with the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, were built in 1826. They feature squared stone walls with stone copings, although some modifications have been made to the bridges over the lock. The lock measures approximately 20 meters long and 5 meters wide, and it retains two pairs of original timber lockgates, balance beams, and paddle gear, which are of an unusual design for the Stroudwater Canal lock system. There are two later bridges nearby that are not of special interest. This site is a significant historical feature, remaining intact and in remarkably good condition.
