Correct! It is the Ouseburn. It was a tidal creek, but now the water is imponded above, so a "new" navigtation? Created to retain some water in a smelly, tidal creek, to make it fit for "regeneration"...a bit like Three Mills Lock / weir. If you Google for Ouseburn barrage, you can find a whole lotta stuff about it. -- Neil Arlidge NB Earnest / Barge Maurice A (in the pipeline) TNC...Gorn west... http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/tour.html
