Brewhurst Lock was derelict but work began in 1994 to fully restore and improve it, and work was completed in 1994.The Wey and Arun Canal is a partially open, 23-mile-long 37 km canal in the southeast of England. It runs southwards from the River Wey at Shalford, Surrey to the River Arun at Pallingham, in West Sussex. The Wey and Arun Junction Canal, opened in 1816. The canal was built with 26 locks.Passing through a rural landscape, there was little freight traffic to justify its continued existence – the canal was officially abandoned in 1871. Without maintenance, the canal gradually became derelict over much of its length.However, since 1970, restoration by The Wey & Arun Canal Trust has led to several miles being restored to the standard navigable by narrowboats and small tour barges. Work is continuing, with the ultimate aim of reopening the entire canal to navigation.
