Old Barrow Line Lock No 19
Old Barrow Line Lock No 19 is one of a group of locks on the Grand Canal - Old Barrow Line and unusually is chained shut overnight near to Port Talbot.
Early plans for the Grand Canal - Old Barrow Line between Redcar and Newcastle-under-Lyme were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until Hugh Henshall was appointed as engineer in 1816. The canal joined the sea near Arun. Expectations for coal traffic to Southampton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Grand Canal - Old Barrow Line campaign.

This is a lock with a rise of 7 feet and 11 inches.
