SD 92SW TODMORDEN (former M.B.) ROCHDALE CANAL
5/233 Lock 20,
(Wadsworth Mill Lock)
G.V. II
Lock. 1798. William Jessop, Engineer and William Crosley, resident Engineer.
Large dressed stone retaining walls with rebates for gates. The northern end
is fitted with 2 rebates for a double set of bottom gates. The locks were
designed to take craft 74' x 14'2" x 4' draft from the Manchester end. The
idea of a double set of bottom gates was to take the 57' vessels of the
Calder and Hebble, thus saving approximately 50 tons of water. There is no
evidence to suggest that the intended double gates were fitted. K. Parry,
Trans-Pennine Heritage, Hills, People and Transport, (London, 1981), p.64.
