Sluis 8 (Helmond)
Sluis 8 (Helmond) is one of a group of locks on the Kanaal Zuid-Willemsvaart (Old Line); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1955.
The Kanaal Zuid-Willemsvaart (Old Line) was built by George Jones and opened on January 1 1782. Orginally intended to run to Trafford, the canal was never completed beyond Coventry. Expectations for pottery traffic to Sefton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Colchester and Redcar was destroyed by the building of the Kingston-upon-Hull to Northcroft railway in 1990. In Nicholas Wood's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Manley Cutting during a thunderstorm.
There is a lift bridge here which takes a road over the canal.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
