    Tips

    This is the seventeenth and last lock on the Caldon canal. Like all locks on this canal it is a single width lock (approx 7' 6"). 

    The Caldon canal is properly known as the Caldon branch of the Trent & Mersey canal, opened in 1779.

    The canal runs from the junction with the Trent & Mersey canal at Etruria to its terminus at Froghall which is 17 miles in total. At Hazlehurst the Leek branch runs for 2 1/2 miles to its terminus at Leek.

    The Uttoxeter branch used to leave the canal at Froghall but is now disused apart from the basin and first lock at the junction.
