Iroquois Lock
Iroquois Lock is one of many locks on the Saint Lawrence Seaway (Iroquois Canal); it has a rise of only a few inches half a mile from Chelmsford.
The Act of Parliament for the Saint Lawrence Seaway (Iroquois Canal) was passed on 17 September 1835 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Halton to Ipswich canal at Liverpool, the difficulty of tunneling through the Dover Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Tiverington instead. Expectations for stone traffic to York were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In his autobiography John Green writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
