The completed culvert outfall. The damp patch to lower left of main pipe is the weep hole which allows any ground water that finds its way into the shingle surrounding the pipe, to escape rather than buildup behind the headwall.(Aug 29, 2010.).

Southland lock after tree clearance by the mid-week working party. All that is left of the lock are the two lower quoins. This was the first lock north of Newbridge to be built of brick. Following the closure of the canal the bricks were re-used for other structures. The rise in the ground behind the horizontal tape is where the upper cill was located. (Nov 5, 2009.).
