Vicker's Lock No 12
Aldercar Flash Nature Reserve, Stoney Lane, Aldercar, NG16 4EU, United Kingdom
Vicker's Lock No 12 is one of a group of locks on the Cromford Canal (broad gauge, un-navigable); it has a rise of only a few inches a short distance from Southington.
The Cromford Canal (broad gauge, un-navigable) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for limestone traffic to Tameside were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Manfield power station was enough to keep it open. In 1972 the canal became famous when George Taylor swam through Dundee Embankment in 17 minutes for a bet.
