Cotswold Canals in Pictures

Whitminster Lock

Whitminster Lock is adjacent to Whitminster Bridge. It was designed to cater for Severn trows and was about 16-foot (5m) wide and 68-feet (21m) long.

The lock was partly restored by the Cotswold Canals Trust in the mid-1990s and the gates, dated 1996, were made at Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire.
