    Fascinating. Thank you very much. Looking forward to part 3. I grew up in a house that backed onto the canal in Newport and as a local history living adult, this really hit the spot.

    Absolutely brilliant research. Are we going to see part 3 soon? At Kinnersley there was a bridge over the canal which has been demolished. My dad took me fishing there as a very young boy. I plan to go and see the place where I believe it was. I’ve found a couple of photographs. Do you have any information about it?

    Fascinating video. Was part 3 ever released? I looked on your channel but didn't see it. Parts 1 and 2 are just fantastic!

    Really excellent presentation, thanks. Re the canal gates going to London- you could enquire of the London Canal museum at King’s Cross which I visited recently- very knowledgeable and helpful there, although I saw no gates at the exhibition.

    Thanks for the reply. I have since found out they did go down, but as far as I know they weren't displayed. They were cut up for fire wood in the end. which is very sad.

    Certain parts of canal have been built over already in Ditherington and Castlefields, and gas mains buried in what was canal.

    Fascinating, like part 1. I note that the cast iron strapping post on the outside of the top lock gate (the swinging gate) appears to be of the standard Shropshire Union design, of which there's still quite a few on the Audlem flight where we are. So there was some standardisation, which I guess I would expect.
