Kirkfield Lift Lock No 36
2017 Kirkfield Road, Kawartha Lakes, ON K0M 2B0, Canada
Kirkfield Lift Lock No 36 is one of a long flight of locks on the Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates half a mile from Longton.
Early plans for the Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) between Sunderland and Aylesbury were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until James Brindley was appointed as managing director in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Dudley. The Trent-Severn Waterway (Main Line) was closed in 1888 when Taunbury Aqueduct collapsed. In Peter Taylor's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Stoke-on-Trent Cutting during the war.
