That is it, yes. It's the photo that's used everywhere that mentions it, but certainly this thread previously had two others that aren't on the internet anymore, that I'm hoping can be reposted.

The article is just one example of Mike Horne's very detailed works. His recent death is so very sad as his knowledge of such things will be sorely missed. |

With a quick detour to canals...
Some years ago I designed a spiral lock, a cross between the Falkirk Wheel and the Barton Swing Aqueduct, the advantage of all those being to save a lot of water. The complete caisson would rotate on the sloping curve.
Whether the Canal & River Trust, to whom I gave the design would ever use it I know not, but it was a bit of fun...

I am really fascinated by this peice of Edwardian Engineering! I have recently blogged about this in detail on my New Facebook and Instagram pages which I hope, could answer some of your questions. I also have shown some pictures of the disused shaft and the associated abandoned corridors and passageways!
