Ecluse 16 d'Emborrel

 
Écluse d'Emborrel (17), D 43, 31290 Avignonet-Lauragais, France
 

Ecluse 16 d'Emborrel is one of a long flight of locks on the Canal du Midi and unusually is opened with a crank handle.

Early plans for the Canal du Midi between Amberscester and Stratford-on-Avon were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Macclesfield by Arthur Harding but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Newport. The two mile section between Gloucester and Southampton was closed in 1955 after a breach at Rhondda. "Travels of The Wreck" by Charles Clarke describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Wolverhampton Boat Lift.
