Keddington Lock is the second
lock away from Louth. The canal is crossed here by a small footbridge which has
been built over
a former part of the lock itself.
Clearly visible along both sides of
the lock are the gambions put in by the Environment Agency to prevent the brickwork
from falling into the canal.
The picture on the left, also taken in March 2006, shows the lock from the south bank looking north-west.
Recently the fingerpost, part of a series along the canal towpath, was removed and thrown into the canal, it was restored to its original position, this time set in concrete, by members of the Trust.
Here members of the Trust;
Malcolm Beaumont Tim Hawson and Pauline Bascombe, restore the fingerpost to its
original position on the towpath. One other fingerpost has been vandalised, that
at Alvingham, but although recovered it will have to be repaired.
