Marple Locks No 13 east of Stockport
Marple Locks No 13 on The Peak Forest Canal is by Possett Bridge, No 18, which carries Stockport Road. I think the tail gates were left open by a descending crew. Very lazy!
The Marple flight consists of sixteen deep locks in a mile. The total fall (or rise) provided is 209ft 6in (almost 64 metres). The canal was opened to navigation by 1796 but not enough money remained to build these locks. A temporary tramway was installed and used until 1804, when the locks were completed.
The short pounds between Locks 13 to 16 include large open side ponds to assist with water management.
