  14. Where locks and other canal structures are listed Historic England will be interested in any works carried out to them. Many years ago BW replaced lock gates on the Hanwell flight which is a scheduled monument without top gate paddles which were in situ when it was listed. This caused a major ruction with IWA etc and resulted in BW having to revise their procedures in dealing with listed structures
  15. Any statutory matters are now administered by Historic England. English Heritage who now just look after certain historic buildings were spun off as a charity like CRT, several years ago,
