Brookwood, Basingstoke Canal c.1955

More about this scene

This is the bottom chamber of the Deepcut flight of 14 locks. The bridge immediately beyond the lock used to take a railway into Pirbright army camp, just behind the trees to the right. Note the chain around the bottom gates; these were not completely necessary, as the canal was impassable by this time. It was restored and re-opened in 1991.

In this photo, there is a cafe in the background. This house used to be the lock-keeper's cottage, owned by my great-grandparents. My mother used to play on a derelict barge opposite the house on the canal. Are there any Webbs still in Brookwood that remember Ted and Gert Webb, my grandparents?
