Whitby Lock, Ellesmere Port.
This is a Leading Light marking the point where the River Mersey and the Shropshire Union Canal meet. Now no longer used, the building is home to the Fire Brigade Union.

A lock is a device for raising and lowering boats between stretches of water of different levels on river and canal waterways. The distinguishing feature of a lock is a fixed chamber in which the water level can be varied; whereas in a caisson lock, a boat lift, or on a canal inclined plane, it is the chamber itself (usually then called a caisson) that rises and falls.
Locks are used to make a river more easily navigable, or to allow a canal to take a reasonably direct line across land that is not level.
Lock and Dam 5 on the Upper Mississippi River in Minnesota City, Minn., has been dewatered this winter to allow the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, to complete major maintenance work on it. Each St. Paul District lock chamber is dewatered every 15 to 20 years for this major maintenance. Lock and Dam 5 was last dewatered in 1990. --Photo by Shannon Bauer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

This morgue has always fascinated me. It's old - a mix of bricks and iron and built into the side of the hill facing the lake. I love the texture of it.
In fact, if I must confess, I've been known to take senior photos against the brick of it....it's that cool.
Today when I was walking past was the first time I've ever felt a little squeamish about it - I've been walking here for well over 10 years so it took me off guard. I noticed then that the door was far more ajar than I've ever seen it - enough to get a bit of a peek inside
I shudder as I type....
As we entered the Miraflores Lock, you could see all of the equipment for the lock, as well as the dam that works with the lock there.

Boulter's Lock is a lock and weir on the River Thames in England on the eastern side of Maidenhead (formerly in Cookham) Berkshire. The lock is on the western side of the river between the main (A4094) Maidenhead to Cookham road and Ray Mill Island. The name is also used for the immediate surrounding area. The weir is one of the most popular whitewater freestyle kayaking areas on the River Thames, after Hurley Weir.
