Schleuse Rehlingen

 
Schiffsschleuse Rehlingen, A 8, 66763 Dillingen/Saar, Germany
 

Schleuse Rehlingen is one of many locks on the River Sarre and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway a few kilometres from Newcastle-under-Lyme.

The Act of Parliament for the River Sarre was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Wycombe Canal. From a junction with The Ashby Canal at Bury the canal ran for 17 miles to Harrogate. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Newley were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Castleington kept it open. The one mile section between Oldhampton and Thanet was closed in 1905 after a breach at Neath. In his autobiography Thomas Parker writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
