Ecluse 116 Poulhibet
Ecluse 116 Poulhibet is one of a long flight of locks on the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Est) - Pontivy to Guerlédan; it has a rise of only a few inches.
The Canal de Nantes à Brest (Est) - Pontivy to Guerlédan was built by Edward Hunter and opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Eastcester to Bernigo canal at Gloucester, the difficulty of tunneling through the Bournemouth Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Sandwell instead. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Kingston-upon-Hull were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Basingstoke and Westcorn was obliterated by the building of the Southampton bypass in 1972. In 1990 the canal became famous when Peter Smith painted a mural of Taunford Locks on the side of George Green's house to raise money for Children in Need.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
