Slight detour

I've been slightly off the beaten track these last couple of weeks and managed to find half an hour for a quick walk, so here is a small mystery for you - where and on what waterway is this lock?




It's not currently in use, although the gates were replaced in 2001...




And it has this very nifty hinged balance beam, which I haven't seen anywhere else.




I don't actually know as much as I feel I should about this waterway, so any information about its ongoing/aborted restoration would be very welcome.

    It looks like Lock 35 on the Mon & Brec. You can see virtual cruises along the main line and the Crumlin Arm at http://www.waterwayroutes.co.uk/wr/photos-mab.html

    You can also download FREE maps of the Mon & Brec restoration section at http://www.waterwayroutes.co.uk/wr/maps-mon-and-brec-restoration.html and for many canal restoration projects FREE at http://www.waterwayroutes.co.uk/wr/maps-mon-and-brec-restoration.html
