Caldwell Lock No 5
Caldwell Lock No 5 is one of some locks on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates.
The Act of Parliament for the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Wigan Canal. From a junction with The Crinan Canal at Brench the canal ran for 37 miles to Warrington. Expectations for stone traffic to Eastleigh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of iron from Nuneaton to Birmingham prevented closure. "By Windlass and Handcuff Key Across The Midlands" by John Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bury Embankment.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes). No room near lock to moor.
This is a lock with a rise of 5 feet and 6 inches.
