Trent and Mersey canal, Lock 54
Lock 54 is a 'duplicated' lock, from the 1830's - the two locks sis by side speeding the passage along the canal. These are the Thurlwood Lower Locks.

Thurlwood Lower Locks No 54, Cheshire
The so called Cheshire Locks (Heartbreak Hill) north-west of Hardings Wood were built in the mid 1770s as single structures. Around 1830 an attempt was made to speed up traffic by pairing nearly all the locks, including here. The lock on the right is the newer one. During the late 20th century, many locks became unusable, some being filled in, while others fell into dereliction. Since then, a lot of restoration has been carried out; this work is still ongoing.
The Trent and Mersey Canal is 93·5 miles in length from Derwent Mouth to Preston Brook. The first cut was made by Josiah Wedgwood in July 1766 at Middleport (Stoke-on-Trent). The eastern section between Derwent Mouth and Shugborough (the junction with the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal) was already operational by 1770 and the whole canal through to Preston Brook, where it linked with the Bridgewater Canal was open for business by 1777. James Brindley was the engineer until his death in 1772. There are seventy-six locks en route to raise and lower the water level where hills impede the course. There are four tunnels, including the famous Harecastle Tunnel near Stoke-on-Trent.

Thurlwood Lower Locks No 54, Cheshire
This image shows the original lock, built circa 1776 when the Trent and Mersey Canal was built under James Brindley's supervision. The one on the right was added circa 1830, Thomas Telford being the consultant engineer. Here, both locks are currently usable. This is not so at all the Cheshire Locks sites - some have even been filled in.
