Description

Bosley Lock Number 11 and Lock Pound is a canal lock built in 1831, designed by engineer William Crosley. The lock features rusticated red gritstone walls, while the spillway is made of ashlar. The upper end of the lock basin is semi-circular. To the west of the lock, there is a stepped quadrant retaining wall, and to the east, a flight of stone steps. A cambered footbridge made of cast iron spans the lock entrance, which has a later addition of a plain tubular steel rail. The upper pair of lock gates is made of mild steel, and the lower pair is timber. The lock is flanked by curved wing walls on both sides, and there is a stone-walled rectangular pound located to the west of the lock.
