Saltersford Locks No 3 is one of a long flight of locks on the River Weaver (Main Line) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway a few miles from Sumerlease.
Early plans for the River Weaver (Main Line) between Amberspool and Barcester were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. From a junction with The Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Taunford the canal ran for 23 miles to Barnsley. Restoration of Dundee Locks was funded by a donation from Edward Smith

This is a lock with a rise of 7 feet and 3 inches.
