Meaford Top Lock No 34

 
Rookery Lane, Stafford ST15 8UZ, United Kingdom
 
Information about the place
Meaford Top Lock No 34 is a minor waterways place on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Great Haywood to Etruria) between Etruria Junction (Junction with the Trent and Mersey Canal, Caldon Branch, Uttoxeter 30 miles) (7 miles and 4¾ furlongs and 6 locks to the north) and Great Haywood Junction (Junction of Trent and Mersey and Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canals) (11 miles and 3¼ furlongs and 11 locks to the southeast).
 
It is at one end of Meaford Locks.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Etruria Junction is Siddals Bridge No 99; 1¼ furlongs away.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Great Haywood Junction is Meaford Lock Bridge No 98; a few yards away.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring pins are needed. Limited space is North of the lock landing. Mooring is possible but is somewhat overgrown (06/2023). Extremely close to Manchester-London railway but is quiet after 11pm. We were not disturbed by the quiet early morming trains.

This is a lock with a rise of 8 feet and 2 inches.
