SANDWELL MB BIRMINGHAM CANAL SO 99 SE Birmingham Level, Tipton 4/6 Bottom lock and attached cantilever footbridge, Factory Locks (approx 50m north of Furnace Parade)

GV II

One of flight of three locks and attached footbridge. Circa 1829. Engineer Thomas Telford. Brick with sandstone kerbs to lock chambers, now partly replaced by concrete. Cast-iron sluice gear at upper side. Single gates. Across the lower end of the lock chamber is a cast-iron footbridge cantilevered from the southern bank, so allowing a tow rope to pass through the gap between it and the northern bank. The sides are each cast in one piece, with a handrail curving up from a flat deck, and are pierced to form a cross-braced pattern. This flight of locks raises Telford's New Main Line, on the Birmingham Level, up to the 473 feet Wolverhampton Level.
