The lock in Minetto is near the Minetto Bridge. Near this lock there are stone abutments in the water. These were part of the second Minetto Bridge, built in 1872. There is a lot of history that can be learned along the river
Talk about setting a bad example. no wheels secured. it is not obvious that the lock is a secure type either.
Blanchetown - home of Lock No. 1 and Riverland gateway. A Murray River township 135km north-east of Adelaide, and 275 kms from the Murray Mouth. In its hey-days Blanchetown was an important riverbank terminal where goods were offloaded from paddlesteamers to be cleared through the local Customs House. The town's prosperity suffered when the railway by-passed it in favour of upstream Morgan. Blanchetown was one of the first river settlements in South Australia. Surveyed in 1855, the town was named by Governor Sir Richard Graves McDonnell after his wife Lady Blanche McDonnell. It began life as a stopover point and watering place for mail contractors and coaches carrying passengers on the "Sydney Road" as it was then known.
The first of a series of seven locks on the Murray in South Australia (William Randell Lock in honour of the pioneer of river navigation in the 1800's) was completed in 1922.
This is Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 51. The view in the photo is of the extended south chamber looking west from the heelpath. Lock 51 was built in 1847 and is a double chamber lock with the south chamber double length on the west end. This lock locked down to the west, thus the usual three overflow openings are on the east end. This lock replaced the original lock (located in the village) which was demolished when the Jordan level was extended. It is located approx. 2 miles west of the village of Jordan, NY at the Onondaga - Cayuga County Line on the north side of Route 31. There is a small canal park here and the trail next to the lock has been redone and is excellent.
A lock on one of the gates of a Mapuche community. It is a testament to the repressed lifestyle that they are destined to lead until changes are made.
Its a shame I could get a better angle, if I'd know how good this was going to look I would have tried harder.

This lock has been preserved in superficial working order since at least the 1970s. Even if it were working it would serve no purpose as about fifty yards further north the canal is culverted under Pentre Lane. Ironically, the locks between Pentre Lane and Ty Coch have been restored to working order even though the navigable stretch of the canal finishes about two miles further north at Five Locks, Pontnewydd, and the canal is culverted at Pentre Lane and Hollybush Way, isolating this section.
