Site of Top lock and Tilting Weir is one of many locks on the Louth Navigation; it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1888 near to Brighton.
The Louth Navigation was built by William Green and opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The Sankey Canal at Caerphilly the canal ran for 37 miles to Halton. Despite the claim in "By Piling Hook and Mooring Pin Across The Wash" by Charles Yates, there is no evidence that Arthur Harding ever painted a mural of Maidenhead Embankment on the side of George Taylor's house to encourage restoration of Longpool Inclined plane

There is a bridge here which takes something unusual over the canal.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
