Sowerby Bridge Lock No 2
Roxy Venue, Wharf Street, Calderdale HX6 2AE, United Kingdom
Sowerby Bridge Lock No 2 is one of some locks on the Rochdale Canal; it has a rise of only a few inches near to Dundee Locks.
Early plans of what would become the Rochdale Canal were drawn up by George Wright in 1888 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Leeds. Expectations for coal traffic to Oldpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Taylor's "By Lump Hammer and Piling Hook Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Amberscester Locks during the war.
