Dowley Gap Locks

These two rise staircase locks built around 1773 raise the level of the Leeds and Liverpool canal a total of about 6 metres (20 feet). They are nationally important structures listed as grade II* for their architectural and historic interest and association with the Three and Five Rise Locks.
The Leeds & Liverpool Canal is unique in having 14 sets of staircase locks along its length. Between Bingley and Leeds there are three sets of two rise Locks; four sets of three rise locks and the famous Bingley Five Rise.
From Dowley Gap Locks the canal climbs around 33 metres (108 feet) to the top of the Five Rise Locks above Bingley.
