Ryeford Double Locks
These are the only staircase locks on the Stroudwater Canal and have quite a colourful history, mainly because they started to fall down not long after they were first constructed! They were designed by a local architect with no known previous canal experience. The canal company then sued him for the repairs however structural failures re-occurred on several subsequent occasions, the most recent being in 1980. In fairness to the original designer though, this last incident was mainly due to failure of an adjoining water main.
The locks have been cleared of overgrowth and debris as restoration gets under way and hopefully modern (re)construction standards will result in a much more stable structure.
