Welshpool Lock No 16 is one of some locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - isolated navigable section) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway near to Oldbury.
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - isolated navigable section) was passed on 17 September 1782 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Bassetlaw. Expectations for pottery traffic to Runington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Maidenhead parish council.

This is a lock with a rise of 5 feet and 1 inch.
