Strange goings on by an old Latton

The basin cottage has been
extensively modernised. Most of the remaining structures are in surprisingly
good condition. The basin itself is six feet deep and built of massive stone
blocks. The lock is buried but gives the appearance of being intact except,
possibly, for the top layer of stone/bricks. The four arch flood relief
aqueduct is still there and with a bit of clearance work would look impressive.

The bad news is that the
aqueduct over the River Churn and the bridge over the junction were deliberately
destroyed c1930.
