Between Wigan Pier and the former Lancaster Canal there are 23 locks. Altogether they lift the canal up 214 feet 7 inches over about two and a half miles. This is the steepest part of the canal. Most signs of the heavy industry and coal mining that were found here have now gone.

Took a different route for my lunch hour walk today and decided to visit this bridge, it's been a while since I walked through here and I was curious about how many more locks had been added in the last couple years.
Well, more have been added, and I think some have been removed. But that's love for you; sometimes it's kind of fickle.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

These are padlocks at the Hohenzollernbrücke in Cologne, Germany. Last time I photographed them was in 2010 and I wrote something like: “Love padlocks are a custom not only in Cologne, but putting them on a Rhine bridge is kinda stylish…” It seems impossible, but there seem to be even more of these locks nowadays.
Bakewell, Derbyshire.
Thousands of padlocks were attached to the bridge over many years but work to remove and melt them down, started around September 2024, so that maintenance could be carried out on the bridge. Such was the outcry that a new home was found for the locks, which are on display at Thornbridge Hall, about three miles away.
Passers-by view thousands of colorful "love locks" attached to a railing on Namsan mountain in Seoul, Korea. The practice of affixing padlocks to public fixtures to symbolize love -- which is said to have originated during WWI -- can be observed in many places throughout the world.
I spent last week in the company of family, friends and 3 dogs on a narrowboat, sailing up and down the Kennet and Avon canal. One of evenings, we moored by the majestic Caen Hill Locks near Devizes in Wiltshire. This is a shot from that evening.

“Foxton Locks are ten canal locks consisting of two "staircases" each of five locks, located on the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal about 3 miles (5 km) west of the Leicestershire town of Market Harborough. They are named after the nearby village of Foxton.
They form the northern terminus of a 20-mile (32 km) summit level that passes Husbands Bosworth, Crick and ends with the Watford flight
Alongside the locks is the site of the Foxton Inclined Plane, built in 1900 to resolve the operational restrictions imposed by the lock flight. It was not a commercial success and only remained in full-time operation for ten years.[6] It was dismantled in 1926, but a project to re-create it commenced in the 2000s, since the locks remain a bottleneck for boat traffic.”

The Ponte Milvio, spanning the Flume Tevere (Tiber River) in Rome, was an important bridge during the age of the Roman Empire. After a scene in a popular movie, couples began attaching padlocks to a lamppost on the bridge and then tossing the keys into the river. The padlocks collapsed the lamppost in 2008, not long after I took this picture. But, the tradition persisted and has since spread globally.

Bratch Locks are a delightful feature of the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal situated in the leafy outskirts of Wombourne. They are a legacy of James Brindley and offer visitors the chance to explore semi-rural South Staffordshire conveniently.
The canal runs through softly undulating West Midlands countryside, skirting around the edges of Birmingham without ever becoming truly urban. It is 46 miles long and has 43 locks.

Having borrowed a Canon EOS 6D on this particular night, it seemed fitting to just go around and shoot whatever caught my eye. Here is something that sparkled and caught it...wedding locks on the bridge. An easy target and one that I was immediately drawn to. :) Discover fun, its fun to discover.
