The Worcester and Birmingham Canal is a canal linking Birmingham and Worcester in England. It starts in Worcester, as an 'offshoot' of the River Severn (just after the river lock) and ends in Gas Street Basin in Birmingham. It is 29 miles (47 km) long. There are 58 locks in total on the canal, including the 30 Tardebigge Locks, one of the largest lock flights in Europe. The canal climbs 428 feet (130 m) from Worcester to Birmingham.
These cottages are at Blockhouse Lock, number four of 58.

The disused remains of Llanthony Lock, Gloucester on 19th September 1989.
Built in 1871 it allowed boats to bypass the weir at Gloucester. The lock was very deep in order to cope with flood level variations and in 1924 the lock walls were found to be subsiding. Repairs were considered uneconomical and the lock was infilled for most of its depth to stabilise the structure.
The lock is set to be restored at some time in the future, forming part of the access that will connect the Herefordshire & Gloucestershire Canal to the rest of the network.

Number One and (the still incomplete) Number Two, Humber Quays, with the lock gates at the entrance to Hull Marina in the foreground. My next shot was to be one taken from the lock gates, but as I was setting up my tripod on gangway I was asked to move by the lock keeper so that he could open the gates.
