When we traveled from Shebdon to Great Haywood I recalled three of the four locks from Penkridge only had one top paddle working…. With leaky bottom gates they took and age to fill and we commented at the time they were taking a risk …. That risk has been realised with Shutt Hill lock being closed as both top paddle rods have now snapped.
Inevitable and C&RT should be ashamed of the state of this section of locks.
I hope they get their act together as I need to be using that lock I suspect Wednesday next week or I'm going to have to go thru the tunnel and over the top which on my own would be a real marathon.
