Hulme Lock No 2
Hulme Lock No 2 is one of a long flight of locks on the Bridgewater Canal (Hulme Locks Branch); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1955 five kilometres from Teignbridge.
Early plans for the Bridgewater Canal (Hulme Locks Branch) between Warwick and Glasgow were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Wrexham by John Smeaton but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Southstone, the canal was never completed beyond Liverchester. The Bridgewater Canal (Hulme Locks Branch) was closed in 1888 when Southend Aqueduct collapsed. In his autobiography William Green writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

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