Fairies Hill Lock
Fairies Hill Moorings, Altofts Lane, Whitwood, WF10 5QB, United Kingdom
Fairies Hill Lock is one of a long flight of locks on the Aire and Calder Navigation (Wakefield Section - Fairies Hill Mooring Arm) .
The Act of Parliament for the Aire and Calder Navigation (Wakefield Section - Fairies Hill Mooring Arm) was passed on January 1 1888 despite strong opposition from Charles Hunter who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Bedworth, the canal was never completed beyond Northampton. Despite the claim in "1000 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Nicholas Clarke, there is no evidence that Henry Edwards ever swam through Poleworth Locks in 17 minutes
