Baddiley Bottom Lock near Ravensmoor, Cheshire Travelling north the short flight of three Baddiley Locks lowers the water level by 19ft 8in (about 5 metres). Here, No 3 lock provides a fall of 6ft 1in (1·85 metres). The Llangollen Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal starts by the River Dee at Llantysilio and leads to the main line at Hurleston Junction, a distance of 46 miles, with twenty-one locks. Water is supplied from the River Dee to the canal, and on to Hurleston Reservoir, a source of domestic water supplies. This results in a noticeable flow of water from west to east; unusual in a canal. The Llangollen Canal was started in 1795, but not completed for many years. It was eventually absorbed by the Shropshire Union Company in 1846.

Canal lock overflow channel near Ravensmoor, Cheshire At Baddiley Middle Lock. The overflow channels by locks on the Llangollen Canal need a greater capacity than most canals because of the considerable amount of water flowing down from its source, the River Dee at Llantysilio. Not only does the river provide water for the canal, but also to the enlarged (1959) Hurleston Reservoir, which feeds the Shropshire Union Canal main line as well as domestic water requirements. This arrangement means there is a current flowing in this canal, very noticeable in some sections approaching Llangollen. Narrowboat tillermen approaching a lock from below can have real problems when crossing the sometimes fierce broadside overflow surges as they cascade back into the canal. Good gongoozler fodder! <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3214609">SJ6152 : Canal lock overflow near Ravensmoor, Cheshire</a>

Llangollen Canal south from Baddiley No1 Lock The Llangollen canal is an arm of the Shropshire Union canal that runs from Hurleston Junction to Llangollen with a wide variety of scenery along its course. Its total length is 46 miles, but the last 1½ miles from Llangollen to Llantisilio is unnavigable by any boats over about 10' length. The canal's vital statistics for craft are: Length 72 ' Beam 6'10" Headroom 7' Draught 2'3" (Hurleston to Pontcysyllte) 2' (P. to Llangollen) These are the maximum dimensions for any craft, based on the minimum dimensions of locks & bridges. There are a total of 21 locks on the canal, but only two between Llangollen and Whitchurch (a distance of about 31 miles). One of the most notable things about the canal is the strong flow especially in the "narrows" near Llangollen and in the tunnels near Chirk. About 12 million gallons of water passes down this canal from the River Dee to the Shropshire Union every day. The most famous feature of this canal is the superb feat of engineering that is the 200-year-old Pontcysyllte Aqueduct rising 126' above the River Dee and running for over 335 yds - for more information on this see the numerous photos for squares SJ2742 and SJ2741
