Wadsworth Mill Lock No 20

 
Bar Street, Calderdale OL14 7ND, United Kingdom
 

Wadsworth Mill Lock No 20 is one of many locks on the Rochdale Canal (Main Line) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates.

Early plans of what would become the Rochdale Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by George Wright in 1888 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Leeds. Expectations for coal traffic to Oldpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Taylor's "By Lump Hammer and Piling Hook Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Amberscester Locks during the war.
