Marple Locks No 6 east of Stockport
Marple Locks No 6. Looking south towards Lock No 7, Marple Junction and Whaley Bridge.
The Marple flight on the Peak Forest Canal 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.

Marple Locks
This photograph was taken in about 1962 and shows one of the deep locks of the flight at Marple. At that time the canal was more or less derelict, how good it is to see it now fully restored and in use.
Please excuse the poor quality of the image which was scanned from an original negative and cleaned up in Photoshop.

Marple Locks
This is from the other side of the canal to Roger May's image, and taken in about 1962, when the canal was more or less derelict. It's good to see how much work has been done there to restore it.
I'm sorry about the poor quality, the image was scanned from a negative and then cleaned up a bit in Photoshop.
