Cwmbran Info: Image of the Month: May 2008 

 

May 2008  
Location: Two Locks, Oakfield, Cwmbran
Subject: Canal lock architecture
Comment: Let's face it, as the Monmouth to Brecon Canal is no longer navigable through Cwmbran (and never will be), it is best treated as a recreational area.  Better than restoring an old lock, the result of which is usually a dingy dark and dangerous pit, is a water feature.  Much more pleasant, practical and easy to keep the weeds down. You don't often see a canal lined with street lights.

What better way to spend the heat-wave days of mid May 2008 than strolling along a cooling canal?
