Corner Copse

Newly lowered pound, Wey and Arun Canal, 2007 The canal was culverted under a lowered B2133 after closure. A requirement of the resurrection of this part of the canal was that the road level was not to be altered. Consequently the canal under a new bridge, still in hand ahead, had to be at a lower level than previously. This is the more deeply dug pound. This needed a drastically altered lower lock and a completely new lock beyond the bridge.

New lock and bridge, 2007 The canal was culverted under a lowered B2133 after closure. A requirement of the resurrection of the canal was that the road level was not to be altered. Consequently the canal under a new bridge (still in hand and beyond the one ahead), had to be at a lower level than previously. This needed a drastically altered lower lock and this completely new upper lock, the old canal level being as seen here.
