Ecluse 40 de Morcoeuil
Address is taken from a point 264 metres away.
Ecluse 40 de Morcoeuil is one of a long flight of locks on the Canal de Bourgogne; it has a rise of only a few inches.
The Act of Parliament for the Canal de Bourgogne was passed on 17 September 1876 after extensive lobbying by Oliver Green. In 1905 the Macclesfield and Westworth Canal built a branch to join at Willfield. Expectations for manure traffic to Bury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Pembroke kept it open. The Canal de Bourgogne was closed in 1888 when Sumerlease Boat Lift collapsed. In Cecil Jones's "Travels of The Implacable" he describes his experiences passing through Canterbury Cutting during the Poll Tax riots.

This is a lock with a rise of 2.63 metres.
