Heritage Open Day 2011 comes to the River Gipping

Sunday, September 11th is Heritage Open Day this year, and to mark the occasion, the River Gipping Trust is taking part for the first time, when it will be welcoming visitors to Baylham, where volunteers are restorong the lock to full working order as part of their mission to return the full length of the River Gipping to navigation.

The Trust is proposing to undertake a feasibility study for providing a tourist boat service between Bosmere Lock and Baylham Lock when the work is complete, which will make the Needham Lakes facility even more attractive.

Baylham Lock is near the Rare Breeds Farm, and will be open between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with volunteers available to answer questions and show visitors around the site.
