Lock 1 (Progress specific to Lock 1 can be found here)
Lock 1 is the only lock of the flight on the Lyneham side of Bowds Lane. As can be seen from the picture, the area is largely hidden by overgrowth and trees at present.
Recent work has been felling some of the larger trees on the towpath. This had two aims, firstly to clear the path and allow access to the body of the lock.
As can be seen here, the pound and route towards lock 2 is still fairly obvious and takes very little to become waterlogged. The two yellow jackets at the rear of this photograph are far closer to the location of the lock itself.
