Tewitfield Lock No 4
Tewitfield Lock No 4 is one of a group of locks on the Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - in water); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905 just past the junction with The River Ember.
The Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - in water) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1835. The canal between Boggin and Windsor was lost by the building of the Southworth to Runbury Railway in 2001. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Implacable" by Cecil Yates, there is no evidence that Charles Thomas ever painted a mural of Harrogate Tunnel on the side of John Clarke's house for a bet

This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.

![Bridge 140, Lancaster Canal. This bridge carries a farm track over the 5th lock in the series at Tewitfield, long since converted to a weir.The weir is flowing, although the lock pounds are frozen over.The canal north of Tewitfield fell into disuse, and its fate was presumed to be sealed when the M6 was built.There are now plans to reopen the Northern Reaches.
