![Thurlwood Steel Lock No 53, Trent and Mersey Canal. One of the pair of Thurlwood Locks was selected as the subject of this experiment in modern lock construction, but it was not successful; the prototype remained the sole example, and by 1981 the steel lock was not in use and the parallel conventional lock had to be used. The steel lock was removed and cut up for scrap in 1988.  There is an excellent and very rare photograph by David Stowell showing the steel lock actually in use [[49714]] by Dr Neil Clifton – 15 April 1981](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/photos/60/12/601242_d8613357_120x120.jpg)












![Thurlwood Upper Locks No 53, Cheshire. This used to be a single lock built by James Brindley in the mid 1770s (left of the one being used by the narrowboat). In order to speed traffic along in the 1830s Thomas Telford supervised pairing of most of the locks between Hardings Wood and Wheelock. Over the decades, salt mining subsidence caused many of the locks to need maintenance, which was not given as traffic fell away in the mid 20th century. Consequently many locks fell into disuse, some being filled in. In 1957 an experimental steel lock replaced Brindleys lock here on the left, past the reeds. This was a difficult structure to operate, doomed to failure, and was dismantled for scrap in 1988. The site is now filled in and grassed over.See also: [[[49714]]][[[601242]]] by Roger  D Kidd – 01 September 2011](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/86/09/2860913_04630a4f_120x120.jpg)
