An unrestored lock.
The Fourteen Locks were completed by 1798 under the direction of Thomas Dadford Junior, as part of an arm (the Crumlin Arm) to link the main Monmouthshire Canal established in 1792 and also engineered by Dadford Junior, (linked in 1812 to the Brecon Canal at Pontymoile to form the "Mon-Brec") with collieries and works at Risca. The flight of locks rises 167 feet (51 metres) in just half a mile (804 metres), and is regarded as one of the wonders of British canal engineering. At the inaugural committee meeting of the Monmouthshire Canal Company in 1792, Dadford requested 200 wheelbarrows, 6 dozen casting tools, and 6 dozen shovels for this mammoth task.

This van was a mess! An old, rust-prone Mercedes van was parked partly on the sidewalk with this double lock system on the backdoor. Apparently the lock the van came with wasn't working properly anymore because another chain lock was installed.
Pretty futile if you ask me: the van was in such a bad shape, I bet that if you punched the thing somewhere on the side that a hole would appear easily and you'd enter the vehicle even quicker...
There was just a part of the fence on either side, but on the gate there was a chain and a lock. I am sure there was some treasure behind the gate.
This is Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 62. This shot was taken up on the towpath trail looking down into the north chamber, looking east. This lock was originally built in 1855 and consisted of two separate chambers. In 1877 the south chamber was lengthed. The lock was abandoned in 1918. It is part of a town park that few people seem to know about . The towpath trail is maintained but the lock has deteriorated somewhat. The old lock is shrouded in weeds, just waiting for the day when water is restored to the Old Erie. The whole lock is there except for the gates but is not very visible, sort of hidden on a trail from French Road. It is located in Pittsford Plaza near Wegmans (near the very back, up the hill ) or along the trail from French Road approximately one mile north of the village of Pittsford, NY.
The top gate and cill of Gwasted lock on the disused section of the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal in Newport. 9th October 2024.
A locked gate! The week had been very hot, and the logging companies locked the gates on Friday - my exit day - to stop people from going in on the weekend. Thankfully there was someone stationed at the other gate to let people out.
Taken on a trip to Argus Mountain, Mount Harmston, and The Red Pillar including the Upper Cliffe Glacier and Lower Cliffe Glacier. Entry and exit were via Oshinow Lake.
The horizon of Kings Cross is no longer lined with the site of these imposing metal framed Gas Holders which I think added character to Kings Cross and Somers Town.
The introduction of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link at St. Pancras, saw all of the gas holders dismantled and put into storage, leaving gas holder No. 8 to stand it alone.
There are plans to move Gas Holder No. 8 and re-erect it with three further Gas Holders (known as the Siamese Triplets) by the side of the Regent’s Canal near to St. Pancras Lock.
The lock of hair given to me by my first girlfriend who lived next to lock 74, Grand Union Canal
Whilst clearing my things from the attic of my erstwhile house a few years back I found a box of letters, diaries and other ephemera. This was tucked in the back of my 1974 diary completely forgotten. The letters went in the skip ... didn't have the heart to throw this in too, she must have gone to a lot of trouble to make it. www.flickr.com/groups/a_catalogue_of_small_things/
A very romantic place in Florence. A fence on the Ponte Vecchio is covered with locks. It's a tradition for lovers to place a lock on the Ponte Vecchio and then throw away the key in the River Arno. Then, your love will go ethernal.
This is Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 53. This view is looking down the north chamber, . looking east, from the head of the lock. As you can see it was quite a bit overgrown even for mid April. The south chamber was there but it was impossible, it was totally overgrown. I tried to get a shot but it was a useless effort.
A Lock Keeper's Cottage/House on the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal. The lock might be called "Black Jack's Lock" but I need to go back to check this out properly :-)
I think it must surely now be a private residence.
Thought it was quite a good idea to apply some soft focus to my photo.....or maybe not :-)
On a river cruise through Russia in 2004, I took this from my kite line just as we were approaching a lock. Forward motion kept the kite aloft; when the boat slowed, the kite came down -- and a good thing too.
my heart, she said, lies hid
behind a box, a door, a lid.
you won't ever find the key,
that will finally set me free.
