When this photograph was taken in 1964, the canal, although disused, was still in water. The remains of a lock-gate can be seen. The bridge carried the metalled lane from Preston upon the Weald Moors

This is a fine example of a roving bridge at Wappenshall. The bridge was built at an angle (skew). The roving bridge allowed the horse pulling the tub boats, to cross from on side of the canal to the other, without removing the harness

An early examination of part of the canal bed seemed to indicate a single lock gate: also shown in very early photograph. A careful piece of excavation was carried out. The original gate was discovered – in good condition and lying on its side.
