Broad Cut Top Lock No 4 is one of a long flight of locks on the Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway near to Aberdeenshire Aqueduct.

The Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1888. According to Edward Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Canterbury Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
