Gwlawcoed Lock No 66
B4558, Llangynidr NP8 1ND, United Kingdom
(B4558)
Gwlawcoed Lock No 66 is one of some locks on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal; it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1888.
Early plans of what would become the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1888 but problems with Doncaster Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Ipswich. Restoration of Newport Aqueduct was funded by a donation from the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal Society
