Sadly this  field is being redeveloped into industrial units plus probably more too. If I could find how to resize my 7MB picture to 2.8 I would post but till I find out it shall remain in my phone. 

Incidentally the Diggle flight ground paddles suck to wards the top gates rather than push a 56ft narrowboat to the tail gates when going up, must be the effect of the  two paddle culverts coming  in from one side

Dalmuir  Drop Lock F&C. The original  swing bridge here caused delays to traffic, was replaced by a wider fixed bridge, and the restoration project used this mechanism to retain the levels of both canal and road while allowing boats to pass underneath.
