Upper Thurlwood Lock
A difficult lock to work due to the subsidence which has affected the area and seen-off the innovative steel replacement for the southern lock of the pair.

Thurlwood Upper Locks No 53, Cheshire
This used to be a single lock built by James Brindley in the mid 1770s (left of the one being used by the narrowboat). In order to speed traffic along in the 1830s Thomas Telford supervised pairing of most of the locks between Hardings Wood and Wheelock.
Over the decades, salt mining subsidence caused many of the locks to need maintenance, which was not given as traffic fell away in the mid 20th century. Consequently many locks fell into disuse, some being filled in. In 1957 an experimental steel lock replaced Brindleys lock here on the left, past the reeds. This was a difficult structure to operate, doomed to failure, and was dismantled for scrap in 1988. The site is now filled in and grassed over.

Approaching Thurlwood Iron Lock – 1980
Installed due to subsidence problems from brine extraction, it proved to be much more awkward to use than the conventional lock alongside, which never in practice suffered subsidence damage. The reduced traffic due to the end of regular freight carriage meant that it became redundant and was removed a few years after this view.
