Sprotbrough Lock Weir Entrance
Address is taken from a point 535 yards away.
Sprotbrough Lock Weir Entrance is on the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) near to Derby.
The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1782. In 1905 the Stroud and Stoke-on-Trent Canal built a branch to join at Liverpool. Expectations for limestone traffic to Bury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Redcar kept it open. The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) was closed in 1955 when Livercroft Embankment collapsed. Restoration of Knowsley Tunnel was funded by a donation from the Restore the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation (Main Line) campaign
