And still they come
Published: Friday, 31 May 2019
IN ADDITION to the three northern canals closed, now comes a river navigation.
The Aire & Calder is now closed from Lock 4 to Lock 7 as a weir has collapsed, Keith Gudgin reports.
Poor state of repair
Listed however by Canal & River Trust as 'overflow weir has failed', the weir has obviously collapsed being in a poor state of repair.
The navigation is now closed between Fishpond Lock (4) and Lemonroyd Lock (7) until a repair can be undertaken.
There is no intimation when a repair will take place.
The picture shows the narrowboatworld boat 'lost' in the rather large Lemonroyd Lock, when we 'dared' to cruise the northern canals in the days of British Waterways!

Now repaired and reopened.
