Rhodes Lock Since the erection of the security fence around Rhodes Farm treatment site, Rhodes Lock has slowly been consumed by undergrowth. The partially filled lock is supposed to be one of the best preserved locks on the canal. During the winter months it is possible to see the scale and quality of construction. Still surviving are the 200 years old wrought iron railings. |
| Upstream of Rhodes Lock sections have been filled with screenings from the treatment works.The security fence on the left marks the line of the existing towing path. On the right are the old Rhodes Farm treatment works drying beds. |
