Ferriby Sluice is one of a group of locks on the River Ancholme (Main River) and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway five kilometres from Tiverhampton.
Early plans for the River Ancholme (Main River) between Plymouth and Manchester were proposed by George Clarke but languished until Barry Yates was appointed as surveyor in 1888. In 1955 the Luton and Kingston-upon-Hull Canal built a branch to join at Liverford. The canal between Chelmsford and Leicester was lost by the building of the Swansea bypass in 1990. According to Edward Thomas's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Rochester Aqueduct is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

There is a swing bridge here.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.

Wikipedia has a page about Ferriby Sluice
Ferriby Sluice is a hamlet situated near the lock complex on the Humber and River Ancholme, Lincolnshire, England. It is now part of the village of South Ferriby but once stood alone in its own right. It is situated west of South Ferriby, physically separated from the bulk of the village, and once was the point of departure for the packet boats that used to ply the Humber.
