The original lock chamber on the defunct canal has been replaced by a series of baffles to create a succession of 5 weirs that bring the water down from the original level above the lock. This quite spectacular sight is hidden away, but is visible by walking along the B3335 Highbridge Road. There are several photographs on the Geograph site of this lock in earlier times:- 1996: Image 2001: Image 2011: Image 2013: Image
