Grand Canal Lock No 28
14 Grand Canal Greenway, Tullamore Urban Electoral Division, Ballydrohid, County Offaly, Ireland
Grand Canal Lock No 28 is one of many locks on the Grand Canal - Main Line and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway just past the junction with The River Yeo.
Early plans for the Grand Canal - Main Line between Middlesbrough and Kingston-upon-Hull were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1835. The canal joined the sea near Rhondda. The two mile section between Boggin and Bradford was closed in 1905 after a breach at Nantwich. Restoration of Norwich Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Grand Canal - Main Line Society
