Adderley Lock No 11 is one of a long flight of locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) and unusually is opened with a crank handle.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

This is a lock with a rise of 6f2.

![Adderley Lock No 4 south of Audlem, Shropshire. There are five locks in the flight at Adderley, altogether altering the water level by thirty-one feet ( about nine and a half metres). This is the fourth, just above Massey's Bridge (No 71), which allows the farmer easy access to fields on both sides. It is not a public way.Note the ripples in the water on the left; a narrowboat is leaving the lock on the way to Market Drayton.
