Cats Edge

Lock 11, Hazelhurst New Locks, Caldon Canal, 1978 The middle of three. 'New' because originally, for a few years, there were locks some way further west on an alignment to the north, with a very short summit level. Changes were made to lengthen this to facilitate its connection to the new Rudyard Reservoir water via the also new Leek Branch. The locks were moved close to where the aqueduct was later built. Finally in about 1841 when the railway was mooted, the locks were moved back west to their present position on a partly new, partly original alignment and the aqueduct was built with adjustment to the Leek branch route to cross the railway.
