Albert Lock 
Albert Lock is one of many locks on the River Shannon - Jamestown Canal and unusually is opened with a crank handle.
The River Shannon - Jamestown Canal was built by John Longbotham and opened on 17 September 1888. The canal joined the sea near Lisburn. The canal between Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Wessworth was destroyed by the building of the M8 Motorway in 1972. According to Peter Edwards's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Harrogate Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor).
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
