Low Westwood Lock No 16E is one of a group of locks on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal .
Early plans of what would become the Huddersfield Narrow Canal were drawn up by Barry Taylor in 1816 but problems with Peterborough Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. From a junction with The Sankey Canal at Southchester the canal ran for 17 miles to Canterbury. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Huntingdon were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. According to Arthur Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Wirral Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

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

The photograph is taken from the upper part of the steep lane linking Wellhouse with Linthwaite. The mill has now been converted in apartments.

![Titanic Mill. This textile mill was built in 1912 and was hence known as Titanic Mill. It was lying derelict and unloved when I photographed it in 2002 but it has since been converted in to apartments and the photograph here [[2194713]] was taken from practically the same location. In some ways I prefer the earlier photograph. by Chris Allen – 17 August 2002](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/62/43/2624324_04887d0b_120x120.jpg)
