The World Famous Bingley Five Rise Locks on the Leeds Liverpool Canal from 1774, including the Also famous but more recent Damart factory and the Three Rise locks adjacent to this mill. • from http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/ll/... • Bingley Five-rise lock staircase is the most spectacular feature of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. It is situated about half a mile north of Bingley Station, about 17 miles north west of Leeds and about 12 miles south east of Skipton. • A lock staircase is where the locks open directly from one to another, with the top gate of one forming the bottom gate of the next. This unique 5-rise staircase has a total rise of 60 feet. • The Leeds and Liverpool canal has many lock staircases of two or three locks each. Only a few hundred yards downstream is another staircase - this time a 3-rise flight, with a fall of 30 feet. The Bingley 5-rise and 3-rise locks opened in 1774. • Thanks for Watching :) • Music - Amy Turk Toccata (J.S.Bach)
