Vale Royal Locks No 1
Weaver Way, Hartford CW8 2BB, United Kingdom
Vale Royal Locks No 1 is one of a long flight of locks on the River Weaver (Main Line) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates near to Blackpool.
Early plans for the River Weaver (Main Line) between Amberspool and Barcester were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. From a junction with The Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Taunford the canal ran for 23 miles to Barnsley. Restoration of Dundee Locks was funded by a donation from Edward Smith
