Bullholme Lock

Bullholme Lock
The open day at Bullholme Lock, Castleford, proved very popular with many people taking the opportunity to descend into the drained chamber and inspect the gate replacement works close-up. The lock is about 460ft long although there are intermediate gates at the point I was standing which allow just 200ft of the chamber to be used when a 700-tonne Euro-barge standard vessel is passing. The longer chamber was used when trains of compartment boats were passing through.
