Dist:0.6km<br/>In normal times, all the lock gates are kept open. In a flood boaters would have to lock down from the river into the canal. The higher gates at the river end act as a continuation of the flood bank.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The farthest lock gates will hold back the highest floods on the River Aire. The nearest lock gates allow boaters to lock up into the river in moderate floods. Normally boats just pass through with no change of level.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This lock is at the extreme southern end of the Selby Canal at its junction with the River Aire. It is used to ensure that the water level on the canal can be controlled and is not raised or lowered unduly by fluctuations on the river. The lock should not be confused with Haddlesey Old Lock (see [[214913]]) on the River Aire, which is about 1 km to the east.
