- I take a walk at Cosgrove next to the Grand Union Canal at Milton Keynes and discover a derelict canal which is the remains of the fourth attempt in crossing the River Great Ouse before the final Iron Trunk was Successfully constructed in 1811.

Great video, thank you Alan 👍
Thankyou
awesome. :-)
Thankyou
Amazing, I've been along there many times on foot, my dad has lived in Cosgrove for 30+ years, and I've never seen that. I'll have to go looking next time I'm there.
Worth a look
Thanks for this vlog it explains all the questions l had about the locks and crossing the river which must have been a nightmare at certain times of the year.
Thanks for commenting, interesting bit of history I thought
Superb filming and commentaries
Love the sad history
If only the Foxton incline could be restored £10 million+ ouch !
Thanks for your time and efforts to produce your volgs
Keep safe warm dry and virus free both
Just spotted the disgusting criminal offence to the pumping station by way of lunatic paint.
Thankyou for commenting
Great bit of history there, thanks for a great vlog! Cheers.
Cheers Brian
@@StarCraftsontheCanal I got Google maps up and can see the location pretty clearly, great 👍🏻
@@brianpyle3839 Good stuff
All I can think of, is all the sweat and toil by the navies, digging by hand, that was wasted.
.
Yes lots of hard work
Yea lovely spot. Did you find the other four locks on the North side ?
Hi Alan, no this is all I found.
I passed you earlier today in the rain
Yes great to see you
Absolutely fascinating, I have been across the Iron Trunk many times from 1967 to the present day and didn't know that the remains of the old route were still there. I would also be interested to find out why lock 2 has modern steel gates. Thank you for another fascinating insight into the inland waterways.
Thankyou for commenting, yes I found this by accident having also crossed many times before, I would also like to know why the steel gates, hopefully someone can tell us.
Aqueduct similar design to the Pontcysylite aquaduct
Yes it is, just a lot bigger 👍
Doesn't explain why there's modern steel lock gates?
Your right it doesn’t , there must be more to the story hopefully someone will know.
@magpiefrog the gates are modern steel, not iron.
@@magpiefrogfrom2556 yes maybe I’m sure someone local must know
Hi Star Crafts
One of your viewers (A.P. Smith) asked me about this on my blog, the North Bucks Wanderer. I replied:
"You are right, they are of modern construction. I found the video you mentioned and I think these steel balance beams were fixed to the remains of the original lock gates, just to give the general (non-boating) public a better idea of what they were looking at. I think this reconstruction was done in about 2007-2008 for the Ouse Valley Park; I have photos from 2009 that show it all in good condition, but the landscaping has been done long enough to lose that just-finished rawness.
They are not even real balance beams; too lightly built to balance the weight of a lock gate. The first one we see also has cross bracing too flimsy to last long on a working lock. In short, they are a well intentioned fake. I'll have to go up and have another look. In the planning stage the canal company considered reusing these temporary lock gates in the Stoke Bruerne flight, but I don't think that ever happened."
Your viewer asked me in a comment to a post I made, about the saga of getting the canal over the river here. I don't like to put a link here, but the post is called "A Low Point for the Canal". I hope it's alright to mention it.
Regards,
Roger, the North Bucks Wanderer.
