Office Lock No 2 is one of many locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) .
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) was built by Nicholas Clarke and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Blackburn. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Polecroft were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Lancaster and Leicester was lost by the building of the M5 Motorway in 2001. According to Cecil Yates's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Erewash Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

This is a lock with a rise of 4 feet and 1 inch.

![A very basic facility. Easily overlooked (in more senses than one), our city tour guide pointed out that behind the stone 'modesty panel' at the far end of this yard is the urinal provided for the workers at the canal company's offices [[4521933]]. Presumably they were all male. It drains, one supposes, into the lock byewash channel which can be seen flowing beneath the grates in the yard. by Stephen Craven – 24 March 2019](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/10/51/6105152_ba43735e_120x120.jpg)
