Burgedin Locks, near Guilsfield

On the nearby Montgomery Canal, part of the historic Shropshire Union system, at Burgedin, the former lock keeper's cottage is reputedly haunted by the ghost of an early Welsh Princess named Eira.

The cottage was built on the site of a very ancient building where the girl was said to have been walled up alive as punishment for running away with her lover.

Her ghost has been seen near the brick-built fireplace in the old basement of the building.

Today, the cottage is a waterway office - and objects are regularly moved when no one is around.

The flight of two locks on the Montgomeryshire Branch opened 1797 before being abandoned in 1936 and officially closed 1944 before re-opening following restoration in 1998.
