There is a sunken cruiser located just above Gallows Inn Lock.

It is not visible at water level and so we will attend site to try and mark its location as best we can.

In the meantime, please proceed with care when approaching the lock.

We do not yet have a timescale for its removal, but we will update this notice as soon as we have more information.
