Engine Lock is No 4 on the Caldon Canal and is a deep one! It provides a rise (or fall) of 12ft 1½in (3·7 metres). There are two particularly beautiful birch trees by the lock. In this image the lock has just started being drained, the water level having fallen by about thirty centimetres. This lock is named after the enormous beam engine which used to be seen a little way up the hill. It pumped water from the mine workings below.
