Haywood Lock No 22
Haywood Lock No 22 a village near to Livercorn. It is famous for the annual maypole dance.
The Act of Parliament for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was passed on 17 September 1816 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1905 the Dover and Redcar Canal built a branch to join at Willcester. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was closed in 1888 when Southchester Tunnel collapsed. In Cecil Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Port Talbot Embankment during a thunderstorm.

This is a lock with a rise of 4 feet and 2 inches.

![A noisy cuppa by the cut. At Great Haywood, close to Haywood Lock (No 22) and the Trent and Mersey Canal, is this pleasant restaurant and tea room, much enjoyed on a sunny summer afternoon.Unfortunately, it is also situated very near the West Coast Main Line (Trent Valley), and in this image the peace is being shattered by a Virgin Rail Class 390 Pendolino Inter-City train hurtling by on its embankment.Virgin would lose the franchise in 2019, partly because of a pensions dispute concerning its partner Stagecoach. I don't suppose the Avanti service which took over is any quieter.

![Haywood Lock No 22, Trent and Mersey Canal, Staffordshire. A footpath (The Staffordshire Way) across the bridge leads to the magnificent Essex Bridge over the River Trent [[[60560]]] and through Shugborough Park (right) and to the left the path leads under the railway to the village of Great Haywood. [[[963805]]]Both the lock gate paddles are up, allowing water to drain out of the lock chamber so that the waiting boat (just visible through the arch) can enter. This is quite a small lock, only lowering the water by 4ft 2in (1.27m). Many narrow locks on the canal alter water levels by as much as ten to twelve feet. by Roger D Kidd – 12 June 2008](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/17/89/1178940_bbf8f96d_120x120.jpg)
