Stubbing Upper Lock No 11 is one of a long flight of locks on the Rochdale Canal; it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1955 just past the junction with The Runcorn and Weston Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Rochdale Canal were drawn up by George Wright in 1888 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Leeds. Expectations for coal traffic to Oldpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Taylor's "By Lump Hammer and Piling Hook Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Amberscester Locks during the war.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
