Tewitfield Lock No 3 is one of many locks on the Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - in water) and unusually is opened with a crank handle just past the junction with The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal.
The Lancaster Canal (Northern Reaches - in water) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1835. The canal between Boggin and Windsor was lost by the building of the Southworth to Runbury Railway in 2001. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Implacable" by Cecil Yates, there is no evidence that Charles Thomas ever painted a mural of Harrogate Tunnel on the side of John Clarke's house for a bet

This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
