Cottingwith Lock No 1
Address is taken from a point 231 yards away.
Cottingwith Lock No 1 is one of many locks on the Pocklington Canal (Navigable Section) .
The Act of Parliament for the Pocklington Canal (Navigable Section) was passed on January 1 1782 after extensive lobbying by Peter Harding. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Stockport to Northampton canal at Kings Lynn, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Rochester at Newchester caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bassetlaw instead. The three mile section between Barnsley and Amberscorn was closed in 1905 after a breach at Teignbridge. According to George Jones's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Manworth Embankment is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

This is a lock with a rise of 6 feet and 6 inches.
