Barrowford Lock Showcase to mark Canal Bicentenary

About

As part of a major repair project to Barrowford Lock No. 47, the Canal and River Trust is inviting members of the public to explore what lurks beneath this historic Lancashire waterway structure during a special open day.

On Sunday 31 January visitors will be able to get an insight into the inner workings of the lock by venturing over 15 feet deep onto the lock floor, see the 3.5 tonne lock gates up close and speak to waterway specialists about how locks are repaired.
