This is on the navigable section of canal, and was restored by volunteers during the 1990s. Later, when the decision was made to lower the pound (section of water) above this lock to allow access under Loxwood Bridge, this lock was lowered, again by volunteers. However, rather than go to the expense and effort of rebuilding the bottom end of the lock those lock gates remain, making an unusual situation where the lower lock gates are taller than the upper lock gates. SO this is the lower end of the lock. Confused? You need to visit. Go in the autumn when the canal is particularly attractive.
