Marple Locks No 6, Stockport
This is the view from the footbridge at Lock No 7, looking north down the flight towards Lock No 6 and beyond.
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.
