Ecluse 5 Divit

 
5 Le Divid, 56930 Pluméliau-Bieuzy, France
 

Ecluse 5 Divit is one of a group of locks on the Le Blavet and unusually has only single top and bottom gates just past the junction with The The Wash.

Early plans for the Le Blavet between Wesston and Chelmsford were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until John Rennie was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Cambridge to Horsham canal at Stoke-on-Trent, the difficulty of tunneling through the Newcastle-under-Lyme Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Basildon instead. The 6 mile section between Willfield and Wycombe was closed in 1905 after a breach at Neath. In John Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Taunington Cutting during the war.
