Entry 10th October 2020
Back on site for some weeks, both top and bottom gates have been fitted. Canal and River Trust gate technicians led this installation, assisted by GCS volunteers. Volunteers have been busy fitting lock and gate furniture.
Like all jobs, the showy aspect of lifting the gates into position over, leaves a myriad of work to be done around the site. Volunteers have been engaged in everything from fencing, pointing stonework and fitting bollards to lock moorings.
Covid-19 is still prevalent within the community – the world! Work is being organised in a socially distanced way.
This same works compound is to be used for the restoration of nearby Lock 13. Stock fencing on the approach road is being renewed in view of this.
At Lock 15, the lockside seat has been installed, along with the engraved bricks. These bricks are the conclusion of public donations from our Buy a Brick scheme, raising funds for the project
