Entry 27th June 2020
I don’t know how history will report Covid-19, but it’s certainly thrown a spanner in the works at Lock 14! The lock gates were due to have been installed at the end of May, and we’d likely have been thinking towards a celebration of another successful rebuild, following on from that of Lock 15.
As it is, the site’s been mothballed for many weeks during the government introduced ‘Lockdown’. However, we’re currently working with CRT, for a socially distanced return to work very shortly. The original September deadline for completion of this five year project to rebuild/restore Locks 14 & 15, has naturally had to be extended.
Not part of this project, but with two more locks to restore in this flight of seven, we’re currently preparing the bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, for support in the restoration of Lock 13.
