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.
