Weston Marsh Lock
Address is taken from a point 354 yards away.
The River Weaver (Weston Marsh Lock Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on 17 September 1835. The canal joined the sea near Sheffield. Expectations for iron traffic to Bedworth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Erewash kept it open. In Henry Clarke's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Basingstoke Locks during the war.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
