| Nicholson's Rapids; ca. 1840s John Burrows, watercolour over pencil (Archives of Ontario - from Passfield, 1982) |
| This painting shows the two locks in the canal cut at Nicholsons. Near the head of the cut is the waste weir leading to the original channel of the Rideau River. A defensible lockmaster’s house is situated on the knoll above the locks. The bridge across the river was used to bring stone from Clowes’ Quarry to the locks during construction |
