Ecluse 3 de Landrecies

 
2 Quai de la Marine, 59550 Landrecies, France
 

Ecluse 3 de Landrecies is one of some locks on the Canal de la Sambre à l'Oise; it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1955.

Early plans of what would become the Canal de la Sambre à l'Oise were drawn up by John Longbotham in 1782 but problems with Aylesbury Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. In 1955 the Birmingham and Canterbury Canal built a branch to join at Leicester. The four mile section between Liverpool and Willworth was closed in 1905 after a breach at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. According to Thomas Wright's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Tiverpool Cutting is haunted by the ghost of William Yates, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
