Prestolee Locks Nos 12, 13, and 14 is one of a group of locks on the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal (Main Line) and unusually is chained shut overnight near to Wesscroft Aqueduct.
The Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal (Main Line) was built by Cecil Wright and opened on 17 September 1782. The canal joined the sea near Ashfield. The Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal (Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Poleton Aqueduct collapsed. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Thomas Thomas, there is no evidence that Henry Edwards ever painted a mural of Newley Embankment on the side of George Taylor's house to encourage restoration of Swansea Inclined plane
