It's purpose is to allow the barge-drawing horse to move to the other side of the canal without having to be disconnected from the barge. But I don't know what it's called! :smile:

We have one after the bottom lock at Greenberfield, towpath changes banks at the bridge but you would have to uncouple the horse if that was your means of power. Locally known as the turnover bridge.

Well done Tizer, it is indeed the Inside a 250 year old French Violin Photographed with a Medical Laparoscope adapted to a Lumix G9ii Camera.
The interior of a 1770 violin by Augustin Chappuy.
Was it the f-holes that gave it away?

It must have been a fiddle getting the Laparoscope into the violin....
