View of Guard Locks from the West
Photographer: Roger W. Sinnott
Taken: April 18, 2011
Caption: View of Guard Locks from the West
Additional Description: The marker is seen in the foreground of this picture, which shows the three main structures of the Guard Locks on the Pawtucket Canal. They consist of the Great Gate (right), Gate House (center, in the distance), and Lock House (left). This last building has a light-duty gate that can be swung open or closed by means of the red wooden beams that project from its corners, but this gate would not hold back a flood. Canal water flows to the right.
