| Imagename: | Bingley Five Rise Staircase Locks |
| Image Description: | On the Leeds and Liverpool canal theyconsist of five locks together without intermediate pounds. They are the steepest flight of locks in the UK with gradient of approximately 1:5, a rise of 59 ft 2inches (18.03m) over a distance of 320 ft (97.54m). The intermediate and bottom gates are the tallest in the country. Due to the compexins of working a staircase lock, and because so many boaters (both first-time hirers and new owners) are inexperienced, a full-time lock keeper is employed. |
