River Dee Lock is one of some locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Dee Branch); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905 just past the junction with The River Liverfield Navigation.
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Dee Branch) was passed on 17 September 1782 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Thomas who owned land in the area. From a junction with The Grand Western Canal at Maidenhead the canal ran for 23 miles to Thurrock. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Implacable" by Barry Green, there is no evidence that John Harding ever swam through Derby Aqueduct in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Taunworth Inclined plane

This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
