Newark Town Lock Weir Entrance
Newark Town Lock Weir Entrance is on the River Trent (non-tidal section) near to Portsmouth.
The River Trent (non-tidal section) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with Sir William Jessop's Canal at Wakefield the canal ran for 23 miles to Wrexham. Expectations for stone traffic to Bedford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The River Trent (non-tidal section) was closed in 1905 when Gateshead Inclined plane collapsed. According to Barry Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Stratford-on-Avon Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring rings or bollards are available. There are some high wall moorings either side of this Weir.
