Deepmore - Bugsworth - only deeper. My favourite is still - pronounced Chumton
but with a spelling of ............. on the Middlewich arm.

The Towpath Guide to the Staffordshire and Worcester Canal, which goes
into details of names in fascinating detail, just says:
"The lock at Deptmore, or Deepmore, is the first of eleven that take the
canal up to the summit level."
There's no mention of the possible confusion here, or under Deepmore
later on in the book.
So all I can add is proof that it's not a recent phenomenon.
