G.V. II
Lock and adjoining footbridge. 1803 to 1805. Benjamin Outram and Thomas Brown Engineers, financed by S. Oldknow and R. Arkwright and built by James and Fox. Dressed stone and ashlar. Single upper gate, double lower gate and footbridge at lower end. 4m. pound-to-pound level to accommodate steepness of slope. Lock walls in large coursed stone blocks with rounded verge. The mouth is grooved for stop planks. The gates have been overhauled and are fully functional. The footbridge has a segmental rusticated keystone arch, an ashlar band and parapet walls which have been rebuilt and which are terminated by a battered square pier at one end with a small abutting flight of steps, and sweeps down at the other end to the level of the pound.
