Weighton Lock
Looking north-northwest from the bridge over the lock towards the lock keeper's cottage (appropriately named 'Weighton Lock') and Humber Lock Farm beyond. The 9½ mile long Market Weighton Canal from the town of Market Weighton to the River Humber was ordered by Act of Parliament in 1772 and opened in 1782. Much of the canal had been neglected by 1900 and the right of navigation through the lock on the Humber was lost in 1971. The lock was refurbished in 1994 by the National Rivers Authority and reopened on 26 May 1995.

Beyond the lock gate is Weighton Canal looking north. The track on the east side becomes a little used footpath, passable, but grown to 4 foot high greenery in places.

Weighton Lock
A bi-directional (tidal) lock linking the Market Weighton Canal to the Humber Estuary. Built in 1773, repaired in 1826 and restored in 1994 it is maintained by the Environment Agency to maintain suitable water levels in the canal. It is rarely used by powered craft (apparently the cost is prohibitive).
