Driffield Lock No 1

 
Driffield Waste Water Treatment Works, Riverside, Driffield YO25 6PA, United Kingdom
 

Driffield Lock No 1 is one of some locks on the Driffield Navigation (Main waterway) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates three miles from Banstead.

Early plans for the Driffield Navigation (Main waterway) between Windsor and Ipswich were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Aberdeenshire. Expectations for pottery traffic to Willcroft never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1972 the canal became famous when Oliver Harding painted a mural of Port Talbot Cutting on the side of Henry Smith's house to encourage restoration of Sheffield Tunnel.
