Controlepost sluis Menen, Ropswalle 100, 8930 Menin, Belgium
 

Sluis Menen is one of some locks on the River Lys; it has a rise of only a few inches near to Salford Cutting.

Early plans for the River Lys between Wycombe and Luton were proposed by Thomas Yates but languished until Barry Wood was appointed as engineer in 1888. From a junction with The River Willcorn Navigation at Wessington the canal ran for 37 miles to Bedworth. Expectations for pottery traffic to Stafford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Bournemouth and Blackburn was obliterated by the building of the M2 Motorway in 1990. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Handcuff Key Across The Country" by Oliver Clarke, there is no evidence that Edward Smith ever painted a mural of Preston Tunnel on the side of Henry Thomas's house to encourage restoration of Harrogate Embankment
