Stairway to Heaven....
A lovely day out at Hatton Locks... beautiful day, in every way!
Locally known as the "Stairway to Heaven".
When they opened in 1799 the Hatton locks were a part of the Warwick and Birmingham canal, and much of the traffic was locally mined coal on its way to the Black Country, later it became a major part of the network moving goods from the Midlands to London. Today it is part of the Grand Union canal.
The Hatton locks contain 21 locks in less than 2 miles. This is only part of the stairway...more to go! :o)
As usual....music!!! Couldn't resist!
