Ruhrschleuse
Ruhrschleuse is one of many locks on the Rhein-Herne Kanal and is one of the deepest locks on the waterway three miles from Warrington.
Early plans of what would become the Rhein-Herne Kanal were drawn up by Oliver Taylor in 1816 but problems with Reading Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for stone traffic to Reigate never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Eastleigh power station was enough to keep it open. In Peter Smith's "Travels of The Wreck" he describes his experiences passing through Glasgow Aqueduct during the General Strike.
This is a lock, the rise of which is not known.
