Gates at Lock #15


These are the lock gates on the Peak Forest Canal at Marple.

A flight of sixteen locks raise the canal more than 200 feet over the course of about a mile.

A contribution to The Weekend in Black and White.

  1. That many locks will be needed to get the job done with that kind of height difference.

  2. Wow. Those locks look as if they have weathered helping timeless water flows. Interesting perspective.

  5. I love all the detail - the markings on the wood, the small plant-life. Excellent photo.
