Trent and Mersey Canal by Hanley Cemetery, Stoke-on-Trent
Dense undergrowth here includes a thriving intrusion of Japanese Knotweed. No action has been taken to eradicate this yet, though it has been here for some years. Cockshutts Lock (No 37) can be seen ahead, the fourth one down in the flight of five.
Cockshutts Lock No 37
The second lock up in the Stoke flight of five is listed as Cockshutts Lock (No 37) in the Nicholson's Canal Guides, but should this be Cockshutt Lock? Victorian maps show this as Cockshott Lock (by Cockshott Sidings). Other references now call it Cockshute Lock, or just Stoke Lock No 37.
Just saying. :-)
