Here are the new gates just after they had been fitted
A few days later the canal was flooded again, so having lived here for two months and not having seen a single boat go by it was a pleasant surprise to see the first two of a fleet coming along.
Having got into the lock they had trouble trying to close the downstream gates due to the accumulation of debris in the canal
The new gates in use
They eventually got the gates closed
Time to flood the lock
Almost ready to open the new gates for the first time
Open at last
The first narrowboat makes its way onward
Travelling companion
Heading for the next lock that is close to my house
Through the lock and heading for the brick bridge
Narrowboat seen from my bedroom window
More boats came up afterwards. Hardly a frenzy but at least the canal was in use for once
