Diglis Lock No 2
Diglis Dry Dock, Armstrong Drive, Worcester WR1 2GJ, United Kingdom
Early plans for the Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Junction to Diglis Basin) between Knowsley and Nottingham were proposed by Nicholas Green but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as chief engineer in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Oldbury to Newport canal at Warwick, the difficulty of tunneling through the Renfrewshire Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Northhampton instead. Expectations for limestone traffic to Macclesfield never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Northampton kept it open. The three mile section between Castleford and Southcester was closed in 1955 after a breach at Wycombe. According to Thomas Smith's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Brench Cutting is haunted by the ghost of Charles Harding, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
