Leeds Liverpool Canal Dobson 2 Rise Locks Apperley Bridge Bradford Yorkshire England
Dobson Locks (14 & 15):
These 2 rise locks were built c .1777 and are Grade II Listed for their architectural and historic interest. The locks raise the level of the canal a total of 20 feet.
Each lock is of wrought sandstone construction with large block copings which are frequently held together by iron staples. Shaped iron mooring posts are attached to some of the copings. The lower lock (14) has vertical masonry to which the sides of the canal are linked via coped sloped walls which are topped with setted surfaces. The upper lock (15) has curved masonry walls. Set against the masonry to either side of each lock are stone stairways with painted timber diamond railings attached to square posts with iron ‘feet’. The same railings can be found along the top of the masonry to either side of the gates. The painted timber and iron gates and balance beams have iron gears attached to them. Below each balance beam is a quadrant of stone setts with heel grips to allow a better purchase. Over the tail of each lock is a timber plank bridge with painted timber railings, uprights and guardrails. To the west of the locks is a stone lined overflow channel which drains the pound above and between the locks.

A 30 sec exposure trying to capture the moonlit and star lit vista at Bagwabasa- ~14,200 ft. The glittering white mountain in the background is Mt. Trishul a 7120 mtr beautiful peak. Kala Dak is in the foreground. Notice the tent with the torch light on. Clicked ~10 PM after the Hail and snow storm abated.
Specially more challenging to do so when the temperature was around -3 Deg Celsius. To set up the tripod take off the gloves adjust and then take :-) all in very low light and eerie silence with winds howling away to glory.
