Ebridge Lock
The North Walsham & Dilham canal is currently only navigable in part. Given that there is some opposition to restoration, whether it will ever be re-opened completely remains to be seen. Here work has started on Ebridge Mill lock. What remained of the top gate had been dammed off with concrete filled bags for over forty years. Now a bund of earth has been established further back and the entrance to the lock cleared. What can be seen now seems in remarkably good condition under the circumstances, particularly the iron work which was produced locally.. The first job will be to rebuild the brick entrance to the lock and establish a slot for "stop" boards so that there is no need for such extensive earthworks in future. The lock sides also need attention as does the duct for the spillway which runs underground close by the North lock wall. For more information www.nwdct.org/
