Bingley Five Rise Lock staircase, the steepest lock staircase in Britain, is the most spectacular feature of the Leeds and Liverpool canal. It is situated about half a mile north of Bingley Railway station.
The locks open directly from one to another, with the top gate of one forming the bottom gate for the next.
The Bingley Five Rise Lock was opened in 1774 and has a total fall of 60 feet. The locks are a Grade 1 listed structure and have been awarded a Red Wheel plaque by the Transport Trust.

The Memorial bench to Rob Maddock is on the site of the Lock Keeper's Cottage, where Rob was born. There were resident Mute Swans on the canal and Peacocks in the garden.
