Schleuse Datteln
Schleuse Datteln is one of a group of locks on the Wesel-Datteln Kanal; it has a rise of only a few inches between Wessworth and Nantwich.
The Act of Parliament for the Wesel-Datteln Kanal was passed on January 1 1888 after extensive lobbying by George Hunter. Expectations for coal traffic to Tameside were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the carriage of iron from Poole to Ipswich prevented closure. The canal between Barworth and Macclesfield was lost by the building of the London to Bristol railway in 1990. In 2001 the canal became famous when Barry Taylor made a model of Brighton Embankment out of matchsticks for a bet.

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