Narrowboat at Hall's Lock near Lawton-gate, Cheshire

The narrowboat is entering the original (circa 1776) Brindley built Lock No 49.

The Cheshire Locks were built as a flight of single chambers. In order to speed traffic along in the 1830s Thomas Telford supervised pairing of most of the Cheshire Locks (Heartbreak Hill!) between Hardings Wood and Wheelock. Today, some are in need of repair, and some have been filled in. Here they are both in use.
