Écluse de Saint-Vite
Écluse de Saint-Vite is one of many locks on the River Lot (Écluse de Saint-Vite to Pont de Port d'Agrès); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905.
Early plans of what would become the River Lot (Écluse de Saint-Vite to Pont de Port d'Agrès) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Southcorn Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. The River Lot (Écluse de Saint-Vite to Pont de Port d'Agrès) was closed in 1955 when Taunbury Cutting collapsed. In his autobiography Arthur Wright writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
The Act of Parliament for the River Lot (Garonne - Canalet de Lot Jonction to Écluse de Saint-Vite) was passed on January 1 1816 after extensive lobbying by Peter Clarke. In 1972 the canal became famous when Henry Harding made a model of Newport Inclined plane out of matchsticks for a bet.
This is a lock with a rise of 8 Feet 11 (2.74m).
