- This short film was made to support 'The Fourteen Locks Education Through Restoration Project' and although it is aimed at primary school pupils adults may also find it informative about how canal locks work. Many thanks to Chris Hopcroft for his assistance with the film.
Really interesting video 😊 thank you for taking the time to put this together and share. Very informative and makes you realise the volume of planning, expertise and hard work goes in to some of these repairs.
This video could not have been made better. If only all informational UA-cam videos were this good. Straight to the point and done with a little flare. Thanks
Never knew what a lock was until tonight....Thanks to you now I know how they work!
Very well documented Tom, it makes a nice approach for those who have never done canal boating before.
You may not not know it, but you have inspired a whole class to join the canal alliance, I could not thank you more.
viva la canal!
such a simple concept for fixing a horrible issue. love it
Thank you very much for the video. When the Mullai Periyar Dam in Southern India was constructed, (1885-1895) Colonel John Pennycuick R.E. England, has done some material conveyance by canal system, in which some locks are operated. But no pictures of lock. On studying how the locks are, I found this video is much suited. When the dam was completed all the structures submerged.
Just came across this video was watching one earlier a virtual canal tour and wasn't sure how Locks worked. Very informative. I live in Arizona in the states and we don't have them here.
This is a very good question. Canals are man made waterways and need a constant supply of water. This can be provided by specially constructed reservoirs or directly from rivers. The idea is to keep water loss to a minimum. At Fourteen Locks the Canal Engineer Thomas Dadford Junior designed s system of ponds and side pounds to ensure that as much water as possible was saved when the locks were being used, so reducing the amount needed to replenish the canal above the locks.
Very happy indeed to have a link with Enid Blyton - glad you both enjoyed the video.
I could see this coming on my TV one early Sunday morning while I’m flipping channels
Thank you kindly for the lesson on
living in the days of the Ohio Canal.
Thank you for this educational video, it benefited me greatly.
Glad that you like the video and the channel. Thanks for taking the time to post a comment.
A great video, I learned a lot. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the comment - very much appreciated.
wonderful video, thanks!
You are quite right water will find its own level, but engineers design canals with this in mind so that water levels are maintained.
Nice presentation,thanks.

Many thanks - your comment is very much appreciated.
Very good video, I quite enjoyed it. Thanks a lot:)But who opens and who closes the gates? Somehow I missed it... The people on the boat or professional people on the banks?
i have always been fascinated with canals to ever since puberty at 35 i think im still in puberty. LOL
The one thing missing is: why dahell do we need that in the 1st place?!

Doesn't water find its own level anyway?
