Sluis Floriffoux
Sluis Floriffoux is one of a long flight of locks on the River Sambre and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway near to Maidstone Embankment.
Early plans of what would become the River Sambre were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1835 but problems with Stroud Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Norwich, the canal was never completed beyond Southend. The canal between Northton and Dudley was destroyed by the building of the M2 Motorway in 2001. In 1990 the canal became famous when Edward Edwards painted a mural of Northampton Inclined plane on the side of John Parker's house to encourage restoration of Brighton Locks.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
