An additional lock has been built above Shireoaks to overcome mining subsidence. It has been named Boundary Lock both because it is near the boundary of Yorkshire with Nottinghamshire and also because it is on the edge of a cricket field.

The bridge at Shireoaks had been demolished in the early 1960s and made into an earth embankment (see next pic)

Shireoaks - this new bridge was built in January 1997

Shireoaks Marina is built on the site of the old colliery. (Mooring details from British Waterways Newark Office).

In the early 1960s, this road was built across the canal so that buses could get into Rhodesia village. (see next pic)
