The Brunswick river lock is there and is cheap for small craft. The Coburg lock, anyone any pics?
Just had a talk with my elder brother who used to keep his boat in the Cocklehole. he reckons the Coburg lockgates were concreted in 60 or 70 years ago. He also said they were known locally as the "the Dead Gate" as many small craft used to founder there.
