This half of the paired locks and bridge at Malkin's Bank was built in the 1830s, around sixty years after the original constructions (off to the right). All of it is Grade II listed. This is the northern of the two lock chambers. The narrowboat "Vale" is a hire boat from the Anglo-Welsh fleet and will continue westwards towards Middlewich. The other (c1775) lock is not in use currently. Image] Image]
