Dist:0.2km<br/>The next aim of the Wey and Arun Canal Trust is to get this section of canal below Devil's Hole lock in water. To that end a new winding hole has been built here so that the trip boats can take advantage of the new bridge and lock at Loxwood and turn here.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Loxwood village stores in the east of this square were originally the Combination Stores, established by the Society of Dependents ('Cokelers'), a religious movement founded by John Sirgood. Loxwood and the surrounding area once supported a significant population of Dependents, after Sirgood moved here from Kennington in south London in 1850. The shops are now privately owned and only a handful of Cokelers remain in the area.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Lock 6 of the Wey and Arun Junction Canal, all ready for the pound above to be put in full order and provided with water. Water supply was a problem for the canal as built, and will be for the restored canal, particularly as the restored section is isolated from the summit level reservoir. Pumping back is used at the moment, the electricity bill must be considerable.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The original Devil's hole lock and bridge are believed to have been destroyed during explosives practice by Canadian forces during World War 2. The lock and bridge were rebuilt by volunteers of the Wey and Arun Canal Trust between 1997 and 2002 although no gates are fitted at present.
