Tyrley Bottom Lock No 7
Address is taken from a point 663 yards away.
Tyrley Bottom Lock No 7 is one of many locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) near to Preston.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

This is a lock with a rise of 6f7.

![Tyrley Bottom Lock No 5, Staffordshire. There are five locks in the Tyrley flight, lowering the water level by a total of thirty-three feet (ten metres). The bottom lock and the canal below it are cut directly into the sandstone bedrock. Mature trees overshadow the area, the towpath side being almost constantly in shade.[[[2275593]]]The county boundary runs along the hedge/tree line to the left of the towpath, so although the whole canal and the locks are in Staffordshire all the land to the left is in Shropshire. by Roger D Kidd – 24 August 2011](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/80/50/2805081_70acba71_120x120.jpg)














![Sandstone rockface below Tyrley Locks in Staffordshire. The Shropshire Union Canal is cut into the bedrock as it descends the lower locks of the Tyrley flight. The eroded and overhanging face is the result of a fierce overflow current which often crosses the canal from a culvert.[[[6086280]]] by Roger D Kidd – 17 October 2012](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/54/63/6546310_9888bd7f_120x120.jpg)
