As part of a major winter fundraising appeal, the Canal & River Trust are carrying out essential repairs to Leeds River Lock 1 in Leeds city centre.
Ruth Garratt, Heritage Advisor for the Canal & River Trust, discusses with The Yorkshire Post.
The lock has been drained to enable repairs to be carried out to both sets of wooden lock gates, the lock floor, stop plank grooves, ground paddles and the lock walls. The work is part of the Trust’s annual programme of maintenance and repairs totalling in excess of £60 million this year.
