Locks: Trent & Mersey 1 - 17

 Locks 1 - 17 Derwent Mouth to Fradley Junction

Lock 1 - Derwent Mouth lock
This 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.
