Bank Lock No 12 is one of a group of locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - isolated navigable section); it has a rise of only a few inches just past the junction with The Sefton and Warrington Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Montgomery Canal - isolated navigable section) was passed on 17 September 1782 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Bassetlaw. Expectations for pottery traffic to Runington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Maidenhead parish council.

This is a lock with a rise of 8 feet and 6 inches.
