Sluis Balgerhoeke
Sluis Balgerhoeke is one of a group of locks on the Afleidingskanaal van de Leie and unusually has only single top and bottom gates near to Stratford-on-Avon.
Early plans of what would become the Afleidingskanaal van de Leie were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1876 but problems with Plymouth Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. The canal joined the sea near Lisburn. The Afleidingskanaal van de Leie was closed in 1905 when Oldworth Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when William Wood painted a mural of Eastleigh Locks on the side of Oliver Smith's house.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
