Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Crane on Bridgewater Canal This crane is adjacent to London Road, bridge 15, and is typical of many along this stretch of canal. It is permanently hooked on to the stop planks, those large blocks of wood lying parallel to the canal. They can be swung out across the canal, using the crane, and slotted into stop plank channels under the bridge, thus sealing off a section of the waterway. This is particularly critical here where the canal runs along embankments for much of the way and is without a lock for 40 miles. Now, if there was a breach in the embankment, that's a lot of water disappearing, unless the stop planks can be inserted quickly. |
