ROCHDALE CANAL, Lock No. 49 (Moss Upper Lock) (East of Oldham Road)
G.V.
II
Lock. Between 1794 and 1804. William Jessop, engineer.
Dressed stone. Lock was designed to accommodate two sets of
lower gates (i.e. for two lengths of a boat); the recesses
remain but only the lower gates were ever fitted. The mouth
of the lock is grooved for stop planks and winding gear
remains on one side. The head of the retaining walls has a
rounded arris and the stonework between the lower two gates
has finely worked margins. The gates are completely
overhauled.
