Water

Only traces remain of the buildings that were on the site of the lock as they were demolished before it was declared a protected historical landmark.

Let me hide myself in Thee!

From thy riven Side which flowd,
Be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from its guilt and powr.”

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep hearts core.”
