Five Rise Locks, Bingley, West Yorkshire
One of the greatest feats of canal engineering of its day, this lock was built by John Longbottom in 1773 to James Brindley's design. It raises boats on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal by over 35 metres. To the right of the picture the overflow channel can be seen as a small water inlet.
