Ryeford Double Lock

Work continues by Cotswold Canals Trust volunteers to add the paddle gear, quadrants (above) and fencing, after the gates were fitted by a contractor in October 2011. (Picture taken 15/04/2012)

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)

Overflow Weir, Ebley

This picture shows the Overflow Weir, with the footbridge in position, with Stroud District Council Offices at Ebley Mill behind. (Picture taken 21/04/2012)

In this view, Stroud District Council Offices at Ebley Mill can just be made out in the distance. The River Frome, where the outflow from the Slad Brook and Painswick streams flows into, is to the left. The line of the canal is behind the blue pump, picture centre.

Undergrowth Clearance at Capel's Mill

Undergrowth has now been cleared along the route of the new canal cut at Capel's Mill. The centre arch in the picture below is where the canal will run.

Contractors have now started work to create a new 330m long canal channel which should be completed early in 2013.

Wallbridge Upper Lock - Complete

Work is now virtually complete on Wallbridge Upper Lock with new gates and Paddle Gear fitted. There are just the some brick quadrants under the lock balance beams to finish. (Pictures taken 19/02/2012)
