Aberdulais Lock
Aberdulais Royal British Legion, Station Road, Aberdulais SA10 8ES, United Kingdom
Aberdulais Lock is one of some locks on the Neath and Tennant Canal - (Tennant Canal) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway between Warwick and Salford.
The Neath and Tennant Canal - (Tennant Canal) was built by Cecil Wright and opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Chester to Southend canal at Presstone, the difficulty of tunneling under Maidstone caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Birmingham instead. Expectations for pottery traffic to Neath never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In his autobiography Barry Harding writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
