Bingley is a small town in the Aire Valley, on the A650 between Bradford and Keighley. Here you will find the famous Bingley Five Rise lock, designed by James Brindley, one of the greatest canal builders. The lock, which alters the height of the water by just over 59 ft, is the most impressive in Britain. It is part of the Leeds-Liverpool canal, which took 46 years to complete from the time work started in 1770. The Five Rise Locks are still in daily operation, run by British Waterways. Also see Bingley.
