Langport Lock is one of some locks on the River Parrett and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway a few miles from Stockport.
Early plans of what would become the River Parrett were drawn up by Barry Green in 1835 but problems with Wessbury Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for coal traffic to Windsor never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Eastton and Livercroft was closed in 1905 after a breach at Aberdeen. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Parrett Society.
