Abstract: |
Restoration work at the turf-sided Garston Lock was monitored. The discovery of a timber head apron of the mid-18th century provided additional detail on the construction of turf sided locks at this time. The apron, comprising a base plate, plank floor and side walls as well as a mitre cill, was abandoned when the lock was shortened. Garston lock was subsequently rebuilt, possibly c. 1854. The turf sides were retained but were revetted with slate, a unique feature for locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal. [Au(abr)] |
