What is recorded here
This green commemorative plaque records: BREWHURST LOCK Canal Trust volunteers restored the lock in 1994-96. The gates are unusual - the top gate is lower than the bottom one. This is because the water level above the lock was lowered by almost 6ft (1.8m) in 2006 as part of the project to allow the canal to pass under Loxwood High Street. At the same time the lock was lengthened to 72ft (21.9m), the maximum boat length on most of the national waterways system. Recorded plaque organisation: Wey & Arun Canal Trust.
Brewhurst Lock is a significant site on the Wey and Arun Canal, restored by volunteers, featuring uniquely designed gates where the top gate is lower than the bottom one due to adjustments made in 2006 for canal passage under Loxwood High Street.
