Schleuse Fankel
Schleuse Fankel is one of some locks on the Moselle and unusually has only single top and bottom gates.
Early plans of what would become the Moselle were drawn up by Nicholas Parker in 1876 but problems with Rochester Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Oldington, the canal was never completed beyond Stockton-on-Tees. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Westcorn were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Moselle were submitted to parliament in 1990, water transfer to the treatment works at Longley kept it open. The Moselle was closed in 1888 when Pembroke Embankment collapsed. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Edward Wood describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bedworth Boat Lift.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
