Bingley Three Rise Locks, Canal lock system in Bingley, England.
The Bingley Three Rise Locks feature three sequential chambers that lift vessels through a height difference of 31 feet on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
Constructed in 1774 under John Longbotham's design, these locks marked a significant development in England's industrial transportation infrastructure alongside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
The locks attract observers who gather to watch boats navigate through the chambers, contributing to a traditional canal-watching practice known as gongoozling.
The locks underwent a £3.5 million restoration in 2015, receiving new hand-crafted English oak gates weighing 4.5 tonnes manufactured at Stanley Ferry in Wakefield.
Each lock chamber utilizes a dual-purpose gate system where the lower gate of one chamber functions as the upper gate for the next chamber below.
