Bridge and Lock No 63 at Malkin's Bank, Cheshire
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.

Paired Locks at Malkin's Bank, Cheshire
This is paired Lock No 63.
The right (south) lock is not currently in use.
The Locks are Grade II listed as a group with the bridge (No 151). The south side is circa 1776, (James Brindley),and north side (on the left) is from the 1830s, (consultant Thomas Telford). Looking at the bridge brickwork it is difficult to spot the join considering the northern half was built nearly sixty years later then the original.
The eight paired locks forming the Wheelock Flight allows a rise in water level of 79ft 6in (24·2 metres). This is the fourth pair up. The flight is also part of the more extended series of twenty-six locks, many also paired, which make up the Cheshire Locks, or "Heartbreak Hill" as the canal climbs towards Kidsgrove and the Harecastle Tunnel. The pairing of nearly all the locks was done circa 1830 to speed the traffic.

The old chapel, Betchton Road at Malkin's Bank
The chapel is not shown on the 1909 OS map but does appear by 1947. I haven't established which denomination it was, but the Methodists had a chapel further along the road. Now in residential use.
