Description
Bottom Lock at Spon Lane Locks is part of a flight of three locks on the Wolverhampton Level of the Birmingham Canal, likely built around 1790. This construction followed the reduction of Brindley's original flight of six locks, which was established in 1769. The lock is made of brick, featuring sandstone kerbstones that have been partly replaced with concrete. It includes cast-iron sluice gear, with a single upper gate and a double lower gate. The Old Main Line on the Wolverhampton Level was bypassed by Telford's New Main Line on the Birmingham Level in 1829.
