Lock No.3
Works are continuing on Lock No.3. This project is being delivered as part of Laganscape with our partner Department of Culture Arts and Leisure. Work commenced in June 2009 and has involved replacement of stone work on both sides of the canal chamber, removal of the watermain pipe and re-introduction of Lock gates. The Lock will appear operational with a water supply being provided by a pipe from Shaw's Bridge.
