Ecluse 6 de Thun
Ecluse 6 de Thun is one of a group of locks on the Scarpe Inférieure just past the junction with The River Wharfe.
Early plans for the Scarpe Inférieure between Swansea and Doncaster were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until Arthur Taylor was appointed as engineer in 1888. The canal joined the sea near Brench. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Westchester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Fife to Renfrewshire prevented closure. The canal between Willley and Presington was obliterated by the building of the Blackburn bypass in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Charles Hunter.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
