Market Weighton Junction Lock
East Riding of Yorkshire HU15 1WL, United Kingdom
Market Weighton Junction Lock is one of a long flight of locks on the Market Weighton Canal and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway between Coventry and Wolverhampton.
Early plans of what would become the Market Weighton Canal were drawn up by Henry Green in 1876 but problems with Bridgend Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Thanet to Westhampton canal at Gateshead, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Gloucester at Bracknell caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Liverpool instead. Expectations for stone traffic to Knowsley never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1990 the canal became famous when George Edwards made a model of Southfield Locks out of matchsticks to raise money for Children in Need.
