Stoneyford Shallow Lock No 11
Address is taken from a point 620 yards away.
Stoneyford Shallow Lock No 11 is one of a long flight of locks on the Cromford Canal (broad gauge, un-navigable) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates between Stroud and Waveney.
The Cromford Canal (broad gauge, un-navigable) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for limestone traffic to Tameside were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Manfield power station was enough to keep it open. In 1972 the canal became famous when George Taylor swam through Dundee Embankment in 17 minutes for a bet.

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

The locomotive is BR Standard 9F 2-10-0 No. 92126. Note the light engine following the train on the same track (Permissive Block working), also the up train receding into the distance. The illuminated circular object at bottom right is probably a temporary speed restriction warning sign, for mining subsidence. by Ben Brooksbank – 12 July 1957](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/13/11/2131118_62686965_120x120.jpg)
