Dowley Gap

Leeds and Liverpool Canal, Dowley Gap

Some where between Shipley and BIngley, is that why it's called Dowley gap? Dowley Gap Locks is just behind us, the following is taken from the cnal and river trust web site:
These two locks built around 1773 raise the level of the 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.
