Uttoxeter Branch Lock No 1
Froghall Wharf Visitor Centre, Foxt Road, Froghall ST10 2HJ, United Kingdom
Uttoxeter Branch Lock No 1 is one of a group of locks on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Uttoxeter Canal) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway just past the junction with Sir John Rennie's Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Uttoxeter Canal) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1888 but problems with Polecester Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. In 1888 the Nantwich and Plymouth Canal built a branch to join at Lancaster. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Rotherham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Trafford to Edinburgh prevented closure. According to Peter Thomas's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Oxford Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
