Basin Lower Staircase, Narrow Locks is a group of locks on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Stourport Basins: Narrow Route) .
Early plans of what would become the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Stourport Basins: Narrow Route) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Norwich Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The River Foss at Tivercroft the canal ran for 17 miles to Nuneaton. Expectations for limestone traffic to Longley never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Doncaster and Salford was destroyed by the building of the Kings Lynn bypass in 1972. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Charles Smith, there is no evidence that George Parker ever painted a mural of Newcorn Tunnel on the side of Thomas Edwards's house to raise money for Children in Need

There is a bridge here.
This is a pair of locks, the rise of which is not known.
