Mouldon Lock, on the disused North Wilts branch of the Wilts & Berks Canal, was the lowest of the flight of three Moredon Locks. The North Wilts branch formerly connected the main Wilts & Berks Canal with the Thames and Severn Canal, and ran between Swindon and Latton. This lock was restored, except for its gates, in 1988. This picture shows the modern concrete wall at the position of the stop plank grooves, with the top wing walls splaying out behind it. To the left is the top culvert. To the right is the top gate recess, with the location of the top gate at the bottom right of the picture. http://www.wbct.org.uk/branches/swindon/restoration/38 http://www.smithswbc.org.uk/ http://www.stroudwater.co.uk/t&scanal/technical/ts_lock_diag.jpg
