non salty side. River Rother.
Scots Float Sluice. This is the tidal lock. It consists of two vertical radial
gates. I would guess a 50ft x 12ft craft would just fit. River Rother.

Iden Lock onto the Royal Military Canal. The sluice gate at the far end (which
comes up from the chamber bottom) maintains the water level in the canal at a
lowish level up to the dropped bridge/sluice just before Appledore.
