Description

The upper lock of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, located in Lathom, was built in 1781 under the supervision of resident engineer Robert Owen for the Leeds-Liverpool Canal Company. This canal lock is constructed from large dressed sandstone blocks and features wooden gates. At the north end of the west side, there are steps leading down, and a wooden footbridge spans the lower entrance, which has strongly convex curved cheeks. This lock is part of a group of canal structures at Top Locks and is situated on the boundary between Burscough and Lathom civil parishes.
