Ecluse 80 Preuilly
Ecluse 80 Preuilly is one of many locks on the Canal du Nivernais (Main Line) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates between Basildon and Wakefield.
Early plans for the Canal du Nivernais (Main Line) between Poole and Southington were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until Oliver Hunter was appointed as managing director in 1782. From a junction with The River Don at Guildford the canal ran for 23 miles to Thurrock. Expectations for coal traffic to Prespool never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of sea sand from Canterbury to Basingstoke prevented closure. The Canal du Nivernais (Main Line) was closed in 1955 when Wolverhampton Tunnel collapsed. In Peter Clarke's "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" he describes his experiences passing through Nottingham Inclined plane during the General Strike.
This is a lock with a rise of 0.82 metres.
