This image shows the original lock, built circa 1776 when the Trent and Mersey Canal was built under James Brindley's supervision. The one on the right was added circa 1830, Thomas Telford being the consultant engineer. Here, both locks are currently usable. This is not so at all the Cheshire Locks sites - some have even been filled in. See also: Image]
