SJ9726 : In Weston Lock, Staffordshire
taken 5 years ago, near to Weston, Staffordshire, England
In Weston Lock, Staffordshire
Brinepit Lock (Weston Lock) is No 24 on the Trent and Mersey Canal. The lock provides a rise of eight feet (2·4 metres). The top gate set up needs some maintenance as it is leaking.
The cill which MUST be avoided by boat crews descending the lock is clearly in view in the image. Catching the stern of the boat on this as the water drains from the lock can result in the boat flooding from the bow and sinking.
