Description


SD 91 NW LITTLEBOROUGH ROCHDALE CANAL 1/51 Lock No. 46 and - Windy Bank Bridge

G.V. II Lock and tailbridge. Between 1794 and 1798. William Jessop engineer. Hammer-dressed stone. Double upper gates, recesses to accommodate 2 sets of lower gates (neither of which now exist) and tailbridge adjoining at south. Winding gear remains. The lock walls reveal stonemason's marks.

The bridge is of a later date, probably c.1840.
