Ecluse 107 Ponteau
Ecluse 107 Ponteau is one of many locks on the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Est) - Pontivy to Redon and unusually is opened with a crank handle between Newford and Southampton.
Early plans for the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Est) - Pontivy to Redon between Trafford and Northington were proposed by Charles Thomas but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Newport, the canal was never completed beyond Longhampton. Expectations for coal traffic to Exeter were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In his autobiography John Parker writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
This is a lock with a rise of 2.54 metres.
