Glamorganshire Canal boat weighing machine
Canal boat weighing machine from the Glamorganshire Canal. It was designed and built by the renowned Brown, Lennox & Company of Pontypridd and spent its working life (1835-1942) at three different locations on the Glamorganshire Canal (Tongwynlais, Queen Street, and North Road) and was given to British Waterways in 1955 by Cardiff County Borough Council which had acquired the route of the canal for highway construction. Since 1963 the machine has been displayed near the National Waterways Museum at Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire. Capable of weighing a 40-ton, 60 foot long narrow boat, the cast iron structure has a footprint of 15.3m x 3.7m and is 2.5m high. It is the sole surviving canal barge weighing machine in the UK.
