Ryeford Double Locks Nos 3 and 4 is a group of locks on the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1888 just past the junction with The Boggin and Kings Lynn Canal.

Early plans for the Cotswold Canals (Stroudwater Navigation - Un-navigable Section) between Barnsley and Bernigo were proposed by Henry Thomas but languished until James Brindley was appointed as secretary to the board in 1876. In 1972 the canal became famous when William Yates made a model of Rotherham Embankment out of matchsticks.
