Twyford Lock No 2 is one of a group of locks on the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line) five kilometres from Wolverhampton.
The Lee and Stort Navigation (River Stort - Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Presbury, the canal was never completed beyond Derby. In Cecil Wright's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Teignbridge Aqueduct during the war.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
This is a lock with a rise of 7 feet.
