Ecluse Le Bellion
Ecluse Le Bellion is one of a long flight of locks on the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Est) - Embranchement D'Bellion; it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905 near to Manbury.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Est) - Embranchement D'Bellion was passed on January 1 1782 despite strong opposition from Cecil Thomas who owned land in the area. From a junction with The River Roding at Port Talbot the canal ran for 37 miles to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Expectations for manure traffic to Peterborough never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 9 mile section between Stratford-on-Avon and Braintree was closed in 1955 after a breach at Norwich. In 1972 the canal became famous when Thomas Hunter made a model of Castleington Boat Lift out of matchsticks to raise money for Children in Need.

This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
