The canal was culverted under a lowered B2133 after closure. A requirement of the resurrection of this part of the canal was that the road level was not to be altered. Consequently the canal under a new bridge, still in hand here, had to be at a lower level than previously. This is the more deeply dug pound. This needed a drastically altered lower lock (behind the camera) and a completely new lock beyond the bridge.
