Deep Lock No 47 is one of a long flight of locks on the Chesterfield Canal (Norwood to Retford); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905.
The Chesterfield Canal (Norwood to Retford) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Norwich never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Peter Edwards describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Coventry Cutting.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring rings or bollards are available. right below the Lock, but short pound.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
