Newton Common Lock, Sankey Canal
The remains of Newton Common Lock are on the outskirts of Earlestown, situated about ½ a mile south of the A572 at a point where Wharf Road comes alongside the canal.
The lock was constructed in 1755 and rebuilt in 1885. The last barges passed here in 1919 and the lock was infilled in 1976 causing the lock to become completely buried but it has been partly uncovered by SCARS (the canal's restoration society) volunteers the chamber edges can now be seen.
A notice board stands over the lock (behind the lock in this photograph) giving information about the area. According to that notice, a project is being developed to excavate the area (Image]).

The view of the Sankey Valley from Stephenson's Viaduct, as seen from the 12.01 from Newton-le-Willows
The Sankey Brook runs leftwards from the centre. Parallel to it, and conveniently marked by a cyclist, runs the line of the infilled Sankey/ St Helens Canal. Stephenson had to build the massive viaduct, a 'first' in railway engineering, to accommodate the masts of the Mersey flats, the sailing vessels for which England's first industrial canal was built.
