Frankton Middle Lock No 2
Old numbering: No 3
Welsh Frankton SY11 4PB, United Kingdom
Frankton Middle Lock No 2 is one of a group of locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - connected and navigable); it has a rise of only a few inches.
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - connected and navigable) was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from Thomas Harding who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Tivercorn, the canal was never completed beyond Wrexham. Expectations for iron traffic to Castlechester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - connected and navigable) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Stoke-on-Trent kept it open. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Henry Jones.
