Delph Locks, Canal lock system in Brierley Hill, United Kingdom
The Delph Locks consist of eight narrow canal locks spanning between Mill Street Bridge and Black Delph Bridge on the Dudley No. 1 Canal.
Constructed in 1779, the locks underwent major reconstruction in 1858, reducing the original nine locks to eight while maintaining the same elevation change.
The locks represent the engineering achievements of the Industrial Revolution, connecting the Dudley and Stourbridge canals for coal transportation networks.
Visitors can access the locks via Mill Street Bridge, with the flight descending from 441 feet at the summit to 356 feet at the base.
The iron roving bridge near the top lock, manufactured by Horsley Ironworks, demonstrates late 18th-century industrial engineering techniques.
