Description
Marple Locks Number 4 and the adjoining footbridge on the Peak Forest Canal were constructed between 1803 and 1805 by engineers Benjamin Outram and Thomas Brown, financed by S. Oldknow and R. Arkwright, and built by James and Fox. The structure is made of dressed stone and ashlar. It features a single upper gate and a double lower gate, with the footbridge located at the lower end. The lock has a 4-meter pound-to-pound level to accommodate the steepness of the slope. The lock walls are made of large coursed stone blocks with a rounded verge, and the mouth is grooved for stop planks. The gates have been overhauled and are fully functional. The footbridge includes a segmental rusticated keystone arch, an ashlar band, and parapet walls with rounded copings that terminate in battered square piers.
