Luggage locks

Bingley Three Rise Locks is a staircase of three locks on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Bingley. It opened in 1774 and was a major feat of engineering at the time along with the larger Five Rise (more details on construction and history here) opened at the same time just a few hundred meters further up. The lock comprises a ’staircase’ flight - the lower gate of one lock forms the upper gate of the next lock.
