Description

Lock chamber, gates and leat. 1779, by engineer John Varley, with subsequent repairs. Ashlar, partly rebuilt in engineering brick and concrete, with metal and wood gates. Lock chamber has original ashlar to west side but is mostly rebuilt in brick to east side. There are iron steps to either side and concrete copings to top. Wooden gates to either end have metal reinforced balance beams with metal handrails. Southern gates have barrel gearing for the paddles and northern gates have rack and pinion paddle mechanisms. To the side of each gate is a concrete semi-circle with stepping stones and to the sides of the chamber there are wooden and iron bollards. Leat, partly rebuilt in concrete, curves off to the west of the lock and returns to the canal below the canal bridge. Built as part of the Erewash Canal. Listing NGR: SK4821335774
