Notice the pristine concrete walls in the lock. It was built in the 21st, not the 19th, Century,

The turn in the canal channel is consistent with the photo at the top. That photo was probably taken from the High Street Bridge.

A topo map shows that they have restored a remnant of the original canal channel.

Gerry is a little lost, lock #44 has to be quite a ways further south. I'm saving this for future reference.

Note in the Oct 2013 street view near the top of these notes just after the historic lock photo that there is an old building in the right background. That was a mill.

My first reaction was that the restoration gutted the flour mill. Actually, it removed the additions and renovated the original 1847 building. [plaque1, plaque2]
