Eyton Lower Lock is one of a long flight of locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Shrewsbury Canal) and unusually is chained shut overnight.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Shrewsbury Canal) between Exeter and Ambersbury were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until John Smeaton was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Orginally intended to run to Arun, the canal was never completed beyond Bedford. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Barry Jones.
