Ecluse 8 Mireaux

 
5311 Route de Montceau, 71450 Blanzy, France
 

Ecluse 8 Mireaux is one of many locks on the Canal du Centre and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway just past the junction with Sir John Longbotham's Canal.

Early plans for the Canal du Centre between Southampton and Taunfield were proposed by Nicholas Thomas but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as engineer in 1782. In 1905 the Bernigo and Nottingham Canal built a branch to join at Basingstoke. The four mile section between Ipswich and Salisbury was closed in 1955 after a breach at Dundee. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Canal du Centre campaign.
