Lock 17, Ashton Canal
Like Lock#18 (Image]), Lock 17 was made into a double lock in the 1820s to ease the congestion on this heavily used stretch of waterway. As with the lock at Fairfield, only the right hand channel is still in use.

Bridge and Lock, Fairfield
Looking from the west, along the towpath, towards the stone bridge across the end of Lock 18 on the Ashton Canal at Fairfield. To ease congestion, on what was then a busy stretch of waterway, the lock was made into a double lock. The lock on the left, now disused, was the original. The lock on the right was built in the 1820s. Both the bridge and the lock are Grade II-listed buildings.

Fairfield Lock, Ashton Canal
Fairfield Lock is the highest lock on the Ashton Canal. Beyond the lock is Fairfield Junction where the main line of the Ashton Canal turns right while the former Hollinwood Branch continued ahead. The lock is Grade II-listed (Historic England List Entry Number:1356475 http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1356475&resourceID=5 Heritage Gateway).
The lock was made into a double lock in the 1820s, to reduce congestion on what was then a busy stretch of waterway. The lock to the left, now disused, was the original lock before the second lock was built to reduce queues.
Compare this photograph with Image], taken in 1979. The warehouses have gone and are now replaced by modern houses to the left and new apartments, ahead and to the right.
