Abstract: |
Test pits were excavated behind the lock chamber walls at St. Catherine's Lock by the National Trust ahead of proposed restoration. The pits failed to come up with any evidence that the concrete sides acted as a facing for earlier brick sides. Substantial horizontal timbers were found behind the concrete suggesting that these were part of a bracing structure to help support an earlier timber revetment. A document in the Godalming Navigation Records told how the timber sides of the lock chamber were replaced by concrete in 1909. Previously interpretation of this record was that it was incomplete, and failed to mention that the concrete was merely a facing to a brick structure. This work conclusively showed that this was not the case, and, at this particular lock, the conversion from timber lock chambers to concrete was direct, without any intervening brick stage. References to brickworks at this lock seemed certain to have related to the aprons and flooring of the lock, but not to the chamber sides. [Au(adp)] |
