Notes

1. There are no current plans to restore the section of the Stroudwater Navigation between Saul Junction & the River Severn at Framilode. Access to the river will be via the Gloucester & Sharpness canal, which crosses the Stroudwater at Saul.

2. Framilode Lock on the River Severn was tidal.

3. It is unlikely that the surviving length of the Cirencester arm of the Thames & Severn will be restored.

4. 'Intact' means lock structure still exists - but full restoration required.

5. This table currently specifies dimmensions using the 'Imperial' measurement system, ft = ' = feet, in = " = inch. This is the measurement system in use when the canals were built.

12 inches = 1 foot
1 foot = 304.8mm
1 metre = 39.37 inches or 3ft 3.37 in
