Interesting set Tom.
Wonder what date the lock was abandoned?

I don't know if it was closed, it may well still be in use but I've never been there and am totally unfamiliar with that part of the river. Google might help, but my Google Earth doesn't work at present. Somebody that worked on tugs will probably know all about it.

Don't think it is in use unless it is in a tunnel :twisted:

Picture is from Google Maps and shows that most of the dock has been reclaimed. Can just make out the innermost lock entrance.
