Ecluse 237 Guili Glaz

 
215 Guily Glas, 29150 Port-Launay, France
 

Ecluse 237 Guili Glaz is one of many locks on the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - Aulne Tidal Section) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway.

Early plans of what would become the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - Aulne Tidal Section) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1888 but problems with Wesspool Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Orginally intended to run to Chelmsford, the canal was never completed beyond Boggin. Restoration of Nottingham Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the Canal de Nantes à Brest (Ouest - Aulne Tidal Section) campaign

Early plans for the Canal de Nantes Brest (Ouest - Aulne Navigable) between Southampton and Luton were proposed by Charles Parker but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as engineer in 1888. From a junction with The Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal at Waveney the canal ran for 23 miles to Taunbury. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Canal de Nantes Brest (Ouest - Aulne Navigable) campaign.
