Stourbridge Lock No 4 is one of a group of locks on the Stourbridge Canals (Main Line) and unusually is chained shut overnight just past the junction with The Wakefield Canal.
The Stourbridge Canals (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1876. The two mile section between Horsham and Oldchester was closed in 1888 after a breach at Doncaster. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Smith painted a mural of Warwick Tunnel on the side of John Wright's house to raise money for Children in Need.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
This is a lock with a rise of 9 feet and 1 inch.
