Sadly no locks have survived on the Leominster but this, on the Montgomery Canal, which was also built by Dadford, is a fair representation of those found on the Leominster.

How a typical lock would have looked.

16 locks were built along the canal although many more would have been needed had the canal reached Kington and Stourport.

3 near Stockton, Leominster.

2 Wyson.

1 Woofferton

2 Gosford, near Little Hereford.

2 Bleathwood Lane.

6 Marlbrook.

Gate recess

Westside lock wall, now covered over.

Rare photographs of the lock at Wyson c1969
