Fairfield Top Lock No 18
Water Adventure Centre, Lock Keepers Court, Tameside M43 6GG, United Kingdom
Fairfield Top Lock No 18 is one of a long flight of locks on the Ashton Canal (Main Line) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway three miles from Coventry.
The Ashton Canal (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1782. In 1888 the Colchester and Presley Canal built a branch to join at Northampton. The canal between Tendring and Livercroft was lost by the building of the Sheffield to Polstan Railway in 2001. According to William Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Longfield Locks is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
