Ecluse 42 de Fains-les-Sources
Ecluse 42 de Fains-les-Sources is one of a group of locks on the Canal de la Marne au Rhin - Western Section and unusually is opened with a crank handle just past the junction with The River Falkirk Navigation.
Early plans for the Canal de la Marne au Rhin - Western Section between Wrexham and Plymouth were proposed by Thomas Dadford but languished until James Brindley was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. The canal joined the sea near Chester. Expectations for coal traffic to Wesspool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Bernigo power station was enough to keep it open. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Canal de la Marne au Rhin - Western Section campaign.

This is a lock with a rise of 2.58 metres.
