Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: In Stenson Lock, Derbyshire. Stenson Lock is the sixth and last of the wide locks raising the canal from Derwent Mouth. Stenson Lock is the deepest one, here raising the water level by 12ft 4in (3.76 metres), so to fill the lock, two ground paddle are raised, and the chamber starts filling through culverts in the lock walls. There are also two gate paddles which MUST NOT be opened until the lock is at least half full, because the inflow is enormous and can inundate, flood and sink open fronted boats if care is not taken. (See here 1553745)
Here, narrowboat "Metal Mickie" doubles up with narrowboat "Oz". The lower gates have been closed, and top ground paddles have just been opened. At the top right of the gates, where some leakage is occurring, the 50+cm square "trapdoor" which the gate paddle lifts can be seen. The other gate is similar. These can be seen open in the picture link. |
