Description

MIDDLEWICH C.P. TRENT AND MERSEY CANAL SJ 76 NW at Webbs Lane 2/52 Big Lock and Footbridge

- II

Canal lock, mid C19, of blue brick with red sandstone plinths and copings. Double lock gates, the upper pair of timber, the lower pair replaced in steel. Iron footbridge, probably later C19 with path on cambered iron plates. Blue brick abutments and path ramps. The lock is approximately 5 metres wide - hence its name. It retains the dimensions determined in 1776 when it was intended that Middlewich should be the trans-shipment point between "Mersey flats" and narrowboats.
