Dist:0.2km<br/>The early stages of restoration work under way on the lock chamber. Having lain derelict since 1881 the off side walls had to be cut back to the foundations to find firm ground, however since the lock is a listed structure is had to be rebuilt in exactly the same style as the original. The work was carried out by volunteers and managed by the Hereford and Gloucester Canal Trust http://www.h-g-canal.org.uk . See also [[61953]] for the completed work to date.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Hereford and Gloucester Canal was closed in 1881 and much of the route converted into a railway. Those sections that were not required were abandoned. The canal is now being restored, and this picture shows the early stages of work on House Lock at Oxenhall near Newent in August 1997. Compare this with [[61944]] taken from a similar spot.
