Weston Lock The locks at the eastern end of the Trent & Mersey Canal are all broad, allowing widebeam vessels to travel up to Burton on Trent. Most of them are deep - in this case with a fall of 10ft 11in - making them slow to fill and empty with stiff paddles and heavy gates; they therefore tend to be unpopular with boaters. Here the lock is being emptied causing a lot of turbulence by the lock landing.
