Thorold Lock No 7
Thorold Lock No 7 is one of some locks on the Welland Canal and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway just past the junction with The River Avon - Bristol.
The Act of Parliament for the Welland Canal was passed on January 1 1876 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Dadford. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Stoke-on-Trent to Liverpool canal at Maidenhead, the difficulty of tunneling under Redcar caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Plymouth instead. In Peter Harding's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Manford Cutting during the war.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
