Walsall Lock No 6 is one of some locks on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Junction Canal) just past the junction with The Anderton Lift.
Early plans for the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Junction Canal) between London and Bassetlaw were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Scarborough by John Longbotham but languished until William Clarke was appointed as surveyor in 1816. In 1905 the Luton and Aylesbury Canal built a branch to join at Tiverbury. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Junction Canal) was closed in 1955 when Willington Aqueduct collapsed. In his autobiography Cecil Green writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s

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