Codnor Park Lock No 1
Codnor Park Lock No 1 is one of a group of locks on the Cromford Canal (broad gauge, un-navigable) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway near to Leicester.
The Cromford Canal (broad gauge, un-navigable) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for limestone traffic to Tameside were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Manfield power station was enough to keep it open. In 1972 the canal became famous when George Taylor swam through Dundee Embankment in 17 minutes for a bet.

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