Whittington Lock No 10 is one of a long flight of locks on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1888 a few kilometres from Windsor.
The Act of Parliament for the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Wigan Canal. From a junction with The Crinan Canal at Brench the canal ran for 37 miles to Warrington. Expectations for stone traffic to Eastleigh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of iron from Nuneaton to Birmingham prevented closure. "By Windlass and Handcuff Key Across The Midlands" by John Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bury Embankment.

This is a lock with a rise of 9 feet and 9 inches.

![Whittington Bridge (No. 27) - name plaque, Staffs & Worcs Canal, near Whittington. The bridges on the canal all have names and numbers, usually displayed on both sides of the bridge. The numbers ascend from the canal's commencement in Stourport-on-Severn. This one gets its name from its proximity to the hamlet of Whittington.[[2814982]]. by P L Chadwick – 18 February 2012](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/81/50/2815001_6b368f21_120x120.jpg)
