Description:The Newport branch of the Shropshire Union Canal started at Norbury Junction with a flight of seventeen locks.

The Newport branch of the canal was little used after 1920 and closed by Act of Parliament in 1944. It has since been backfilled, but evidence of the locks remains.

The photograph was taken from under the bridge at Oulton.
