Lock chamber, gates, leat and bridge. 1770 by engineer James
Brindley, with minor later repairs. Red brick chamber, partly

rack and pinion paddle mechanisms and eastern ones have barrel
gearing for paddles. Both gates have C20 concrete semi-circles
with brick steps to either side. Beyond to west, the lock has
two more barrel gearing mechanisms. Attached to east end is the
bridge with a single segmental arch on tapering jambs and plain
brick parapets curving outwards to each end, topped by chamfered
stone copings. West side of the bridge has a small C20 metal
bridge attached to it. Leat runs to north side of lock and
