Audlem Lock No 26 
Audlem Flight Lock No 14
Audlem Water Point, Toll Gate Drive, Audlem CW3 0EA, United Kingdom
Audlem Lock No 26 is one of a long flight of locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway just past the junction with The Rotherham and Sumerlease Canal.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.
