| Brewer's Upper Mills; Upper Lock partly built, Excavations, Embankments &c in progress, May 1830 Thomas Burrowes, watercolour (Archives of Ontario - from Passfield, 1982) |
| This painting shows the locks being constructed. Only the excavation for the lower lock has been completed, while in the upper lock, the timber sleepers (foundation) have been laid and the walls are being built. Above the lock, an embankment with a clay puddle core has been built to hold back the water in the artificial canal channel, located above the original Cataraqui River channel to the right. Most of the buildings located adjacent to the original channel belong to John Brewer. |
