Peak Forest Canal at Marple Locks No 11, Stockport
Approaching Lock No 11, looking north.
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.

Lock gear at Marple Locks No 11, Stockport
Lock No 11. Every operation of this deep lock takes a lot of water. In the foreground is the ground paddle winding gear that opens and closes a sluice into the lock chamber. This should be used first. Built into the gate is the gate paddle winding gear, which is used second, when it is safe to do so. Opening too soon when a boat is in the chamber can flood the boat and sink it. http://www.canalnarrowboat.co.uk/boat-handling/waterways-locks/
