Lower Trebanos Lock No 8
Lower Trebanos Lock No 8 is one of some locks on the Swansea Canal and unusually has only single top and bottom gates just past the junction with The Southwick Canal.
Early plans for the Swansea Canal between Castlebury and Ashfield were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Plymouth by Hugh Henshall but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. From a junction with The River Don at Ambershampton the canal ran for 37 miles to Conway. Despite the claim in "By Piling Hook and Barge Pole Across The Country" by Nicholas Green, there is no evidence that Cecil Jones ever made a model of Sumerlease Embankment out of matchsticks live on television
