Confluence Weir, Ebley

This picture shows the confluence weir, which is now all-but complete, with canal outflow going through the weir and into the River Frome. The narrow channel to the right in the upper picture is the fish pass. The older fence is on the original footbridge which carries the towpath over the weir inlet channel. Just waiting to for the infill across the canal at this point to be removed, to finally open up this section. (Picture taken 05/05/2012)
