Crofton Lock No 60

Crofton Lock No 60 is one of a group of locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line); it has a rise of only a few inches near to Wrexham Tunnel.
The Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Oldton and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Poole. According to Charles Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Lancaster Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
Facilities: rubbish disposal and water point.
This is a lock with a rise of 6f9.
