The Three Mills Lock (on the Prescott Channel) was opened formally on Friday 5th June 2009. Here are some pictures from the day....

There has been works on the bank of the Prescott Channel (mooring points), work at the footbridge where the Prescott Channel meets the Three Mills Wall River (looks like a channel to protect the bridge supports) and some experimental flows to reduce noise created when the water flows through the weir at Three Mills Wall River. We are now in September (three months one). Any news on when we will see traffic of any sort? Has the lock been handed over to BW yet? Gordo
