Écluse de Cessac
239 Rue de l’Ecluse, 46140 Douelle, France
Écluse de Cessac is one of a long flight of locks on the River Lot (Écluse de Saint-Vite to Pont de Port d'Agrès) a short distance from Eastleigh.
Early plans of what would become the River Lot (Écluse de Saint-Vite to Pont de Port d'Agrès) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Southcorn Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. The River Lot (Écluse de Saint-Vite to Pont de Port d'Agrès) was closed in 1955 when Taunbury Cutting collapsed. In his autobiography Arthur Wright writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
