New apartments east of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent
Many nearby former industrial areas, long demolished and cleared out, have now been redeveloped with housing. This 2014-2015 canal-side development is part of the Ivy House Mills development by Lock Keepers Way. (There is no lock nearby).
The Ivy House Lift Bridge (No 11) across the Caldon Canal is nearby.

This image shows the present state of regeneration by the canal west of Ivy House Bridge. The housing on the right is very recent, and ex-factory land has been cleared on both sides ready for further development.

The Caldon Branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal opened in 1779. It runs eighteen miles from Etruria in Stoke-on-Trent, where it leaves the Trent and Mersey Canal. It terminates at Froghall about five miles south-east of Cheddleton. The canal has seventeen locks and the 69 metre long very low Froghall Tunnel, unusable by many narrowboats. The canal did originally continue through to Uttoxeter, but the section beyond Froghall was closed by the late 1840s, much of its course being filled in to construct a railway.

Ivy House Lift Bridge, Caldon Canal
This bridge is operated by boaters using a BWB key and a control panel - which is physically much easier than using a windlass. Here, the bridge is lowering following the passage of a boat.
