Prince's Dock Lock is one of many locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Liverpool Link); it has a rise of only a few inches near to Ambersford Boat Lift.
Early plans of what would become the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Liverpool Link) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1835 but problems with Bristol Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. The canal joined the sea near Taunley. The two mile section between Bassetlaw and Brench was closed in 1888 after a breach at Caerphilly. "Travels of The Implacable" by Barry Wright describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Newcester Cutting.

This is a lock with a rise of 2 feet and 4 inches.

Wikipedia has a page about Prince's Dock Lock
A prince is a male ruler (ranked below a king, grand prince, and grand duke) or a male member of a monarch's or former monarch's family. Prince is also a title of nobility (often highest), often hereditary, in some European states. The feminine equivalent is a princess. The English word derives, via the French word prince, from the Latin noun prīncepscode: lat promoted to code: la , from primuscode: lat promoted to code: la (first) and capiocode: lat promoted to code: la (to seize), meaning "the first, foremost, the chief, most distinguished, noble ruler, prince".
