I posted these pix over on Ian's sister site and thought they deserved to be posted here too.

Not a sight you see every day, Barr1e.

Surprised at how shallow the water is, looking at the river.

Really enjoyed the video. Very informative.

Being a canal for flat-bottomed barges, the depth doesn't need to be much

Ditto on the video
This was my pond at our old house after someone kicked off the filter return pipe when they were checking out garden sheds to raid

That's a sad sight, Rab.

Were all the goldfish ok ? Think that's what I can see at the rear of the pond ?

There is always an end to a story.

Lock Gates Replaced and they look big, bold and beefy.

That looks well made, Barr1e. Should last a few good years.

Nice to see the end result.
