As most of us knew about it how can it be "lost" or is this CRT using something simple for more useless publicity?

They will be digging sunken boats up next on Hatton and other sites where "Gosh" theres an old lock here with a boat in it!

[ditchy]

Am I right in thinking that they're digging the lock out so far, only to fill it in again to "preserve it?"

[madcat]

I think it's lost as in buried under foliage and out of sight therefore out of mind . Digging it out and tidying it up for the public to view is a good thing.

This lock is part of the history of ordinary working people , the people who make the world work . History is about people , all people not just kings and queens and military men.

Our history belongs to all of us and we should value it and learn from the past.

Never lost. I first discovered it 38 years ago, The first time I went through the adjoining lock. The coping stones were still clear to see 2 years ago, the last time I went through.
