Inside the lock works are the culverts and sluices where the water flows from the upstream water level into the lock. We could've gone deeper into the lock, but for lack of boots/waders. Next time!
Nice old Chubb lock seen while walking around the outskirts of Wells Cathedral. My entry for #49 in 111 pictures in 2011 -"lock/keys"
This is a beautiful lock and key set that I saw in the medieval section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I love how elaborate the key is.
Lock No58 on a restored section of the Chesterfield Canal at Retford.
Built in 1777 the Chesterfield Canal known locally as 'Cuckoo Dyke', is widely recognised as one of the most beautiful and varied waterways in England, runing for 46 miles from the River Trent to the middle of Chesterfield, linking the counties of Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
After the canal was formally closed in 1961 it is thanks to the Chesterfield Canal Society formed in 1976 and since 1997 the Chesterfield Canal Trust that this canal is mostly all navigable and with us today.

When I was in Spain, there was a bridge completely covered with locks on it. It was awesome. Apparently Portlandians grasped the same sweet idea! A lock to promise eternal love.
A love lock or love padlock is a padlock which sweethearts lock to a bridge, fence, gate, or similar public fixture to symbolize their love. Typically the sweethearts' names or initials are inscribed on the padlock, and its key is thrown away to symbolise unbreakable love. Since the 2000s, love locks have proliferated at an increasing number of locations worldwide. They are often treated by municipal authorities as litter or vandalism, and are costly to remove.
