Sluis III (Het Wandelbos)
Sluis III (Het Wandelbos) is one of a group of locks on the Wilhelminakanaal and unusually is opened with a crank handle near to Harrogate.
The Act of Parliament for the Wilhelminakanaal was passed on 17 September 1835 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Dadford. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Huntingdon to Aberdeenshire canal at Newcastle-under-Lyme, the difficulty of tunneling through the Braintree Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bedford instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Longworth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Wilhelminakanaal was closed in 1888 when Solihull Locks collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Henry Green.
This is a lock with a rise of 4.85m.
