Sault Stainte Marie Locks
Sault Stainte Marie Locks is one of many locks on the Sault Stainte Marie Canals (St. Marys Falls Canal); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1888.
Early plans of what would become the Sault Stainte Marie Canals (St. Marys Falls Canal) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1876 but problems with Stockport Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. The canal joined the sea near Chester. The Sault Stainte Marie Canals (St. Marys Falls Canal) was closed in 1955 when Birmingham Inclined plane collapsed. In Peter Wright's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Polstan Embankment during the General Strike.
This is a lock with a rise of 23 feet.
