This site used to comprise a canal basin, cottage and warehouse. Since then the warehouse has been converted into a residence (Trow House), and the site divided into two properties.
The canal and basin have long since been filled-in, and now forms part of the garden of each property.
The other property, Lock Cottage, is Grade 2 listed.
There are no plans to restore this part of the canal.

'Old Stroudwater' is a term that has been adopted to describe the section of the canal between Saul Junction and Upper Framilode.
Before the opening of the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal, this was the route taken by the Stroudwater Navigation to connect into the River Severn.
Some of the canal in this section is now infilled, and locking into and navigating the river at Upper Framilode, which is also tidal at this point, could be somewhat hazardous.
For these reasons, it is unlikely that this section will be fully restored through to the River Severn.
