The canal appears briefly here before continuing in a short tunnel under the college access road to reach the tail of lock 3E. You can see from the stone work that there was once a lock here but it was removed to keep the canal low enough to tunnel under the now demolished Sellers engineering works. Re-instating this canal was an amazing feat of engineering as the route had been built over at two separate points within the space of about 300 yards.
