Audlem Bottom Lock No 27
Audlem Flight Lock No 15
Moss Hall, Moorsfield Avenue, Audlem CW3 0LT, United Kingdom
Audlem Bottom Lock No 27 is one of a group of locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line); it has a rise of only a few inches.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.
