The Thames & Severn Canal and the main Stroud - Cirencester Road run side by side approaching Chalford. In 1967 some road widening and re-alignment took place over the abandoned canal. At this point a bridge has been demolished and Ballingers Lock has been buried under the patch of grass and the pre-fab garages.
