This is lock number 10 on the Canal du Nord and is known as Allaines. It is situated on the north side of the village of Allaines in the Somme department 80.
The 19 locks on this canal are between 6 and 7 metres deep and therefore have stepped bollards built into the lock walls. The lower gates are of the guillotine type rather than the usual double swing gates. The locks are operated by calling a control centre on the VHF. The VHF channels alternate between 18 and 22 for each alternative lock. Each lock has a modern control tower and these were all originally manned but are now empty apart from the locks which act as control centres.
Many of the locks have a lock house next to them. In addition, many of them were built with huge side ponds which are used during lock operations to save half a lock's worth of water at each bend. These side ponds are still in use today.
