Description
Turnip Lock, Hadley Park Lock, and the adjoining bridge date from around 1796 and are part of the disused Shrewsbury Canal, which began construction in 1793 under engineer Joseph Clowes. After Clowes' death in 1795, Thomas Telford took over as chief engineer, and the canal was completed in 1796. Notable features of the canal include Telford's cast-iron aqueduct at Longdon-on-Tern and the inclined plane at Trench. Hadley Park Lock and Turnip Lock are significant as they are the only locks on the canal that still have their original mechanism, which includes guillotine gates. The adjoining bridge to the north of Hadley Park Lock is a small brick round-arched road bridge with parapets featuring stone coping, which was largely restored in the 19th century.
