Lift Strépy-Bracquegnies
Boat Lift
Canal du Centre - Ascenseur n° 3, Rue du Stockou, 7100 La Louvière, Belgium
Lift Strépy-Bracquegnies is one of a long flight of locks on the Centrumkanaal (Historic Line) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway just past the junction with The Thames and Medway Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the Centrumkanaal (Historic Line) was passed on January 1 1876 despite strong opposition from Charles Thomas who owned land in the area. In 1905 the St Albans and Aberdeen Canal built a branch to join at Pembroke. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Perseverence" by John Green, there is no evidence that Peter Edwards ever swam through Kirklees Tunnel in 36 hours to raise money for Children in Need
