Cw 8882 Runnel Brow bridge and lock 3 Rufford Arm canal

Cw 8882 Runnel Brow bridge and lock 3 Rufford Arm canal.

The excess water from the canal above lock three of the Rufford arm of the Leeds and Liverpool canal flows around the lock in the stone bywash channel after passing under Runnel Brow bridge.

The stone bridge carries School Lane from Burscough out towards Lathom.

This lock is called Runnel Brow Lock and is the 3rd one down the branch which starts at a junction near Burscough. The branch, or arm carries on through 7 locks in total past Rufford to Tarleton. Here there is one more lock, the River Lock where boats can join the tidal River Douglas.
