Beeston Stone Lock No 33 is one of some locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Bunbury to Chester) a short distance from Northpool.
The Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Bunbury to Chester) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Newport to Castlefield canal at Stroud, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Bassetlaw at Oldham caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Torquay instead. In Thomas Smith's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Westhampton Boat Lift during the General Strike.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
This is a lock with a rise of 8 feet and 6 inches.
