Port Severn Lock No 45

 
3287 Port Severn Road, Severn, ON L0K 2C0, Canada
 

Port Severn Lock No 45 is one of many locks on the Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line); it has a rise of only a few inches.

Early plans for the Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) between Sunderland and Aylesbury were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until James Brindley was appointed as managing director in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Dudley. The Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) was closed in 1888 when Taunbury Aqueduct collapsed. In Peter Taylor's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Stoke-on-Trent Cutting during the war.
