Lock No 3 on the Caldon Canal. It is not a deep lock, allowing a rise of just 3ft 10in (almost 1·2 metres). This lock is not from the 1770s, but was added to the canal in order to counteract the problem of subsidence nearby in the Etruria area. Can anyone provide a date for this work? On the left is the recently built medical centre.
