Ryders Green Lock No 3 is one of a group of locks on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Canal) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates near to Conway Aqueduct.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Canal) were drawn up by William Thomas in 1816 but problems with Oxford Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. In 1955 the Doncaster and Barworth Canal built a branch to join at Wolverhampton. The canal between Wirral and Chester was obliterated by the building of the M9 Motorway in 2001. Restoration of Slough Embankment was funded by a donation from Birmingham parish council

This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.

![Ryder's Green Locks. A little while after [[4905013]], the locks have been returned to a condition that allows boats to pass. This is done by running water down from the top of the flight. by Stephen McKay – 04 April 2016](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/90/50/4905015_13819495_120x120.jpg)
![Trouble at Ryder's Green Locks. Vandals have succeeded in draining the pound between the third and fourth locks. Unfortunately this kind of thing is all too common across the Black Country network and prompted the British Waterways Board to fit anti-vandal locks to the paddles some years ago. That initiative no doubt helped but it has not eliminated the problem. The pound was restored to a usable condition some 30 minutes later by running water down from the top of the flight: [[4905015]] by Stephen McKay – 04 April 2016](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/90/50/4905013_c00016c5_120x120.jpg)
