MIDDLEWICH C.P. TRENT AND MERSEY CANAL
SJ 76 NW at Webbs Lane
2/52 Big Lock and Footbridge
-
- II
Canal lock, mid C19, of blue brick with red sandstone plinths and
copings. Double lock gates, the upper pair of timber, the lower pair
replaced in steel. Iron footbridge, probably later C19 with path on
cambered iron plates. Blue brick abutments and path ramps.
The lock is approximately 5 metres wide - hence its name. It retains
the dimensions determined in 1776 when it was intended that Middlewich
should be the trans-shipment point between "Mersey flats" and
narrowboats.
