Talk:Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation

Number of Locks
According to the IWA site, there are 13 locks along the navigation. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Struds 01:02, 19 January 2006‎


 * I think there are only 12, plus a set of stop gates at the start of Beeleigh Cut. Chelmer Canal Trust map here only shows 12, as does Canalboat.co.uk, but there are pictures of the stop gates here. Bob1960evens 23:57, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Chunker
"The word chunker derives from the Chelmer and Blackwater. A chunker is a wooden channel or pipe built to take streams beneath the Navigation. This word has so far not been found in any dictionaries; it may be unique to the C&B and was apparently in use when the canal was built. They were so called because they were made from chunks of wood."

I've removed this for the following reasons 1 it actualy says in it that the word not been found in any dictionary 2 It makes little sense 3 it is irelevent Struds 14:30, 7 November 2006
