Dutton Locks Weir Exit 
Address is taken from a point 247 yards away.
Dutton Locks Weir Exit is on the River Weaver (Main Line) five kilometres from Castleley.
Early plans for the River Weaver (Main Line) between Amberspool and Barcester were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. From a junction with The Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Taunford the canal ran for 23 miles to Barnsley. Restoration of Dundee Locks was funded by a donation from Edward Smith

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring pins are needed. You can moor between the white Horse Bridge that crosses the weir stream where it re-enters the river, and the bottom gates of Dutton Locks, but the banks are high. It may be easier to moor on the west (Acton Bridge) side, but do not obstruct craft wishing to pass through the locks. Advantage: the water below the locks is wide and does not usually have any stream, unless the locks are being emptied. Disadvantage: at least a mile from any facilities; lockkeeper may ask you to move along after a short stay. .
