Not UE but a very impressive place in the fading October light. Five Rise Locks are a lock staircase on the Leeds to Liverpool Canal. The Locks lift boats over 60ft and this makes it the steepest climb in the UK.
Just down river is the famous Damart Mill and the lesser know Three Rise locks. There is a run off which at one point probably powered something in the Damart Mill as the water emerges from beneath the mill.

The locks need constant work to keep them in good condition.
