St Anne's Ing Lock No 3 is one of a long flight of locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway between Newbury and Sevenoaks.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) was built by Nicholas Clarke and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Blackburn. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Polecroft were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Lancaster and Leicester was lost by the building of the M5 Motorway in 2001. According to Cecil Yates's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Erewash Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

This is a lock with a rise of 4 feet and 6 inches.

Wikipedia has a page about St Anne's Ing Lock
According to apocryphal Christian and Islamic tradition, Saint Anne was the mother of Mary and the maternal grandmother of Jesus. Mary's mother is not named in the canonical gospels. In writing Anne's name and that of her husband Joachim come only from New Testament apocrypha of which the Gospel of James (written perhaps around 150) seems to be the earliest that mentions them. The mother of Mary is mentioned but not named in the Quran.
