Lock 58 - Newark
This is Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 58 in Newark, NY. It was a double chamber lock built around 1841. This shot, taken from the west end, is looking down into the lock. Here you can see the south wall of the north chamber as well as the central overflow inlets on the central section of the lock. It was called " the middle lock", as it was the middle lock of the three locks on the Enlarged Erie Canal that were located close to each other in Newark, NY, which at that time was called Lockville. To the far right you will also notice the roof next to the center section, that roof covers the entire length of the south chamber which is being used by a scrap metal company as a storage garage..... ( at this point I will refrain from saying how much that annoys me.....oops, did I just say it ? ). Lock 58 is located off Route 31 on Lyons Street in Newark, NY.
