![Balance beam at Marple Locks No 15, Stockport. The gate is very heavy. Consequently the balance beam needs to be similarly substantial in order to allow fairly easy operation by a single person. A gate paddle gearing mechanism can be seen so filling the lock is reasonably quick. To the right is a standard ground paddle which is normally raised first.[[[6279396]]]The Marple flight consists of sixteen deep locks in a mile.

Very lazy!The Marple flight on the Peak Forest Canal consists of sixteen deep locks in about a mile (1600 metres). The total fall (or rise) provided is 209ft 6in (almost 64 metres). The canal was opened to navigation by 1796 but not enough money remained to build these locks. A temporary tramway was installed and used until 1804, when the locks were completed.The short pounds between Locks 13 to 16 include large open side ponds to assist with water management.[[[6279562]]] by Roger D Kidd – 07 September 2014](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/27/95/6279584_acc80f83_120x120.jpg)
