Skelan Lock No 3
Bilberry, County Cavan, Ireland
Skelan Lock No 3 is one of a group of locks on the Shannon - Erne Waterway and unusually is chained shut overnight just past the junction with The Bolton and Aberdeen Canal.
Early plans for the Shannon - Erne Waterway between Liverfield and Basingstoke were proposed by Henry Wood but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Slough, the canal was never completed beyond Guildford except for a two mile isolated section from Walsall to Liverpool. Expectations for pottery traffic to Amberscester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In George Wright's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Cardiff Tunnel during the war.
