What a great day seeing so many fish saved, from Perch, Rudd & Roach to Pike & Critically endangered Eels. An amazing thing to see & there are hundreds still left to pull out!
Thanks to @CanalRiverTrust for an amazing day seeing so many species saved & returned to our network.

I should have probably of added this map to my post yesterday about fourteen locks.
Thomas Dadford Jr liked to build his locks close to rise quickly & then long stretches on one level.
He died at 40 but achieved good things on the cut with some failures

The mystery lock of Newport is a lock on the Fourteen locks just outside of Newport. Completed in 1799 by the engineer Thomas Dadford JR it raises the canal 50m in just 740m.
There’s lots of theories for what it was used for.
A video on the locks is here

The Purton Hulks are a collection of over 80 boats, from concrete ships to Severn Trows
In 1909 after a riverbank collapse there were fears that the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal would breach into the Severn, so they reinforced the banks with barges
