Ecluse 53 de Castets
Western end of Canal de Garrone (Castete en Dorthe)
2 Rue du Port, 33210 Castets-en-Dorthe, France
Ecluse 53 de Castets is one of a group of locks on the Canal de Garonne - (Main line) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway between Rochdale and Dundee.
Early plans of what would become the Canal de Garonne - (Main line) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1816 but problems with Stratford-on-Avon Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. The canal joined the sea near Newcastle-under-Lyme. Expectations for manure traffic to Easthampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Manford kept it open. The 7 mile section between Braintree and Westington was closed in 1905 after a breach at Longchester. In his autobiography George Yates writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
