Appraisal
This canal lock station forms an interesting group of canal related structures, with the remains of the former lock keeper's house, the bridge and the lock gates. Though the bridge is now partially rebuilt, and the house is in ruins, the lock gates and canal channel are well maintained. Plaque inscribed: '1797 Mc Loghlin Lock & Bridge R Evens Eng'.
