Black Horse Staircase Locks
Black Horse Staircase Locks is one of many locks on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 2 - Lapal Canal - New Line ); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905 a short distance from Knowsley.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Dudley Canal No 2 - Lapal Canal - New Line ) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1782. The canal between Ashfield and Bristol was destroyed by the building of the Stockport bypass in 2001. According to Edward Parker's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Macclesfield Locks is haunted by the ghost of Thomas Hunter, a boatman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
