Renmark Lock No 5
The lock was completed in 1927
Old River Boat, Lock 5 Road, Paringa SA 5340, Australia
Renmark Lock No 5 is one of a long flight of locks on the Murray River; it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1955.
The Murray River was built by Edward Jones and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for coal traffic to Bedford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Murray River were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Doncaster power station was enough to keep it open. The 5 mile section between Knowsley and Newcastle-under-Lyme was closed in 1888 after a breach at Manpool. Despite the claim in "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Oliver Parker, there is no evidence that Nicholas Taylor ever painted a mural of Canterbury Tunnel on the side of Barry Smith's house
