Chnatown's Moonta Street was locked against vehicle entry today ... maybe it always is ... but I only saw this photogenic lock today holding down its pillar, and took a photo. Yeah I think it's usually there, but hadn't entered my consciousness ...

The Lachine Canal passes through the southwestern part of the Island of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Work on it began July 17, 1821. The original canal was 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) long and had seven locks, each 30 metres (98 ft) long, 6 metres (20 ft) wide and 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) deep. It opened in 1825 and helped turn Montreal into a major port, attracting industry and population to its banks.
In the 1840s, the Lachine Canal was deepened to allow heavier ships to pass through, and hydraulic power was introduced to the industries on its banks. By creating a route that bypassed the Lachine rapids, the canal opened the upper St Lawrence River to navigation and Montreal became a more convenient area for trade, taking shipping traffic away from Quebec City. The Lachine Canal also led to the emergence of new working-class neighborhoods such as Griffintown, St Henri, and Pointe St Charles.
The first canal enlargements came between 1843 and 1848. Five new locks, each 200 ft long, 44 ft wide and 8.9 ft deep replaced the original seven. A second enlargement took place between 1873 and 1885 at which time the locks were lengthened to 269 ft and deepened to 14 ft.
The canal continued to operate successfully until 1950, but it could not be expanded to cope with the continuing increase in vessel size. In 1959 the canal was replaced by the St. Lawrence Seaway. The Lachine canal was closed to shipping in 1970 which led to the devastation of the neighborhoods that lined the canal.
In the mid 1960's The Lachine Canal was blocked off with tunnelling debris from the excavation to build the underground metro rail for Montreal's Worlds Fair: Expo 67. Today it is an exciting tourist area lined with parks, shops and restaurants and is open to skaters in winter.
Looking the other way at the disused Howley lock chamber towards the weir which is situated just behind the trees. It must have been tricky entering the lock from the upstream direction as barges would have to turn side on to the weir with the flow of water pushing down towards it.
