Shirley these two are in to semi-tidal bits and we were refering to the locks at the head of a tideway?...I suppose boats do go up the Avon and over Netham Weir If you are including Hanham and Old Ford (Lee), then you should also include Keynsham, as it is often tidal above Hanham Weir. Also it is often tidal above Brownshill Staunch (we have been through this on the level) and therefore St Ives Lock should be included. Before Barmby Barrage was built , I suppose that the first lock, (West Cottingwith) on the Pockling ton and Elvington Lock on the Derwent were boater operable locks at the head of the tideway. > > City Mill may be again soon (sort of).

I also suppose that if you knew Harry Mayor you used to be able to do Tarleton Lock yourselves. Again Widnes Lock and Fiddlers Ferry Locks are operated by the local boat club. -- Neil Arlidge - NB Earnest - Shannon Reg 7410 Read about the start of our Irish travels at: http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/Tour_07/April_07/index.html Visit this site and help save our waterways from the DEFRA cuts http://www.saveourwaterways.org.uk/
