More about this scene

From here the canal maintains a level for over twenty miles until it reaches Tyrley, where a flight of five locks alter the level by 33 ft. At Tyrley the lock keeper's single storey cottage is situated between Locks 1 and 2. From Tyrley the canal crosses the Tern by a single-arched aqueduct and crosses the border into Shropshire.
