Eyton Lock
Eyton upon the Weald Moors TF6 6ET, United Kingdom
Eyton Lock is one of a group of locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Shrewsbury Canal) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway three miles from Stockport.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Shrewsbury Canal) between Exeter and Ambersbury were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Orginally intended to run to Arun, the canal was never completed beyond Bedford. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Barry Jones.
