Locks 1 - 17 Derwent Mouth to Fradley Junction
Lock 1 - Derwent Mouth lockThis lock drops the T&M down to the River Trent where it meets the River Derwent. As the lower level varies due to it being a river there is no height given. A board showing the river level height is at the lower entrance. Boats should only venture down to the river when the green section is showing.
Locks 1 to 6 inclusive are double width locks.
