"Emergency closure of Beeston Iron Lock due to sunken craft
Wednesday 22 October 2008 - Friday 24 October 2008
Due to a sunken craft which is lying on its side at Beeston Iron Lock on the Shropshire Union Canal, the lock will remain closed for up to 72 hours whilst craft is recovered. Dewatering is possible.
Winding is available below Whartons Lock and above Bunbury Staircase Locks.
British Waterways apologises for any inconvenience caused."
We went through here on Sunday.
We are a retired couple who after living abroad for 5 years are now living in Levin, New Zealand. From October 2006 we cruised the inland waterways of Britain. We sold Narrowboat Gypsy Rover in July 2010 and continued our travels around the UK in our new Motorhome. In August 2011 we returned to New Zealand ahead of our motorhome which arrived in October. Although now land based we will be continuing our travels throughout New Zealand when time allows.
