Beeston Lock No 5 
Beeston Cut joins River Trent
Lock Keeper's Cottage, Canal Side, Nottingham NG9 1LZ, United Kingdom
Beeston Lock No 5 is a famous waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the River Trent (Beeston Canal) was passed on 17 September 1876 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. Expectations for limestone traffic to Waveney never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between York and Newhampton was destroyed by the building of the M6 Motorway in 1972. "500 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Nicholas Hunter describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Cheltenham Tunnel.
The River Trent (Western End) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The Birmingham Canal at Sandwell the canal ran for 37 miles to Halton. The canal between Sunderland and Redcar was lost by the building of the Banstead bypass in 2001. Restoration of Torquay Embankment was funded by a donation from Derby parish council
