A bizarre canal lock, 2007 A possibly unique arrangement where the lower gates tower above the upper gates. This results from rebuilding to match an upper pound dug out to a lower level to pass under a new B2133 bridge. There is still a small rise. Lock 5, Brewhurst, on the Wey and Arun Junction Canal.

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 here, had to be at a lower level than previously. This is the more deeply dug pound. This needed a drastically altered lower lock (behind the camera) and a completely new lock beyond the bridge.
