Description
Marple Locks Number 13 on the Peak Forest Canal is a lock built between 1803 and 1805. It was designed by engineers Benjamin Outram and Thomas Brown, financed by S. Oldknow and R. Arkwright, and constructed by James and Fox. The lock is made of dressed stone and features a single upper gate and a double lower gate. It has a 4-meter pound to pound level to accommodate the steepness of the slope. The walls are constructed from large coursed stone blocks with a rounded verge, and the mouth of the lock is grooved for stop planks. The gates have been overhauled and are fully functional.
