Description
This is the first lock gate on the Taunton to Bridgwater canal in Somerset. My son Steve is demonstrating how it would be closed. Zoom is best.
Have a good weekend.

Great presentation Jeff! Like the design of the walkway allowing traction.

Fascinating to me Jeff. Locks aren't something I have ever been familiar with.

This is fascinating! How nice that they raised some of the bricks in order to give traction to the lockman. Excellent image!

These locks look so interesting to me as we haven't got any down here. It certainly is a great way to get around. A super capture.
