Lot of info here is wrong?

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I am going to suggest that almost all of the information presented here is wrong...

The lock wasn't a single-gate lock: at one point, it consisted of an ordinary lock (two gates or four gates if you count both gates at each end of the lock) with another single gate (or two gates if you count both gates) adjacent to it but pointing in the opposite direction. As per this site which has a nice map showing all three pairs of gates: http://www.leeandstort.co.uk/Limehouse_Cut.htm. (South is at the top of the page.)

The lock wasn't "situated at the entrance of Limehouse Cut to Limehouse Basin." Rather, it was about a 100 metres north-east under the Commercial Road. Also as per the map at the above site.

Wrong to say that "The gate would normally sit in a slot on the bank of the canal". As per the map at the above site, the gate is an ordinary pair of gates that can be swung out of the way.

The site is not "surrounded by modern housing".

The location is not 51.510917°N 0.033892°W. It's more like 51.51235°N 0.0318°W.

Unless anybody objects, I'm going to make corrections. Zin92 (talk) 10:52, 16 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
