Meadow Lock No 3 is one of a group of locks on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Hatherton Canal) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway just past the junction with The Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation.
The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Hatherton Canal) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1835. The four mile section between Thurrock and Huntingdon was closed in 1888 after a breach at Oldfield. According to William Thomas's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Manpool Tunnel is haunted by the ghost of George Hunter, a navvy, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

This is a lock with a rise of 5 feet.
