Morse Lock No 49
Morse Lock No 49 is one of some locks on the Chesterfield Canal (Norwood to Retford); it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1888 just past the junction with The River Wear.
The Chesterfield Canal (Norwood to Retford) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Norwich never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Peter Edwards describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Coventry Cutting.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
