Hunt's Locks, Grade II listed lock in Northwich, United Kingdom.
The lock features three pairs of gates dividing it into two separate chambers, with curved stone wing walls and steel-framed timber gates.
Constructed during the Victorian era, the smaller lock dates from 1860 while the larger lock was built in 1890 for the Weaver Navigation.
The lock represents industrial engineering excellence and stands as a monument to British canal transportation development in Cheshire West.
