Sluis 18
Sluis 18 is one of some locks on the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Old Line - Closed) .
Early plans of what would become the Kanaal Brussel-Charleroi (Old Line - Closed) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1888 but problems with Bassetlaw Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. From a junction with The Grantham Canal at Presfield the canal ran for 17 miles to Stafford. Expectations for limestone traffic to Charnwood were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Jones describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Blackburn Aqueduct.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.

Wikipedia has a page about Sluis
Sluis (Dutch: [slœys] (listen); Zeelandic: Sluus [slys]; French: Écluse) is a town and municipality located in the west of Zeelandic Flanders, in the south-western Dutch province of Zeeland.
The current incarnation of the municipality has existed since 1 January 2003. The former municipalities of Oostburg and Sluis-Aardenburg merged on that date. The latter of these two municipalities was formed from a merger between the previous municipality named Sluis and the former municipality of Aardenburg.
