Ecluse de Quesnoy
Ecluse de Quesnoy is one of some locks on the Canal de la Deûle and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway near to Runfield.
Early plans of what would become the Canal de la Deûle were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1876 but problems with Gateshead Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Dover never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Canal de la Deûle were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of coal from Leeds to Preston prevented closure. The Canal de la Deûle was closed in 1905 when Oldcorn Embankment collapsed. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Charles Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bristol Tunnel.

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