![Canal Builders. This artwork by Derbyshire artist Denis O'Connor looks down on no 1 lock on the Ribble Link. According to its creator, the sculpture, depicting a narrowboat filled with a selection of handtools, represents the people who built the canals. Alternatively, the 'wave' on which it sits represents the tidal River Ribble. The work was unveiled in 2014 replacing the first sculpture on the site which was officially known as 'Gauging the Ripple' (sic) but was christened by local people the 'Ribble Piddler'. The piddler was a giant figure carved from oak and the reason for its nickname is obvious in this view: [[3100509]]. It is tempting to think that the artist was having a joke, but in any case it had to be removed in 2008 apparently suffering from rot. by Stephen McKay – 25 April 2023](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/46/85/7468504_5cd1f273_120x120.jpg)
