New lock and footbridge, River Lagan, Stranmillis, Belfast :: Shared Description
There is a proposal to re-open part of the former Lagan navigation (the River Lagan and the long-closed Lagan canal) by building a new lock at Stranmillis, just upstream from the existing weir. The scheme also includes a new footbridge across the Lagan and extensive improvements to the surrounding area.
The following planning permission (25 September 2017) applies “LA04/2016/0041/F Lagan gateway project includes: the provision of a new boat lock at Stranmillis to allow the passage of boats past the weir, new footbridge and path linking Annadale embankment with Stranmillis and paths to Belvoir Park. Works involve working in the river Lagan near scheduled monument area (historical lock) (Environmental Statement received) Site located at the weir at Stranmillis near Belfast Boat Club BT9 5FJ”.
The photographs submitted by me appear as a matter of record only. I have no connection with any campaign or official body. I cannot enter into correspondence.
Two links - the Lagan Navigation Trust Link
and the Inland Waterways Association of Ireland (IWAI) Link.
The history of the canal may be found in “The Canals of the North of Ireland” by WA McCutchen, David & Charles (1965).
