Woolsthorpe Bottom Lock, No. 16 This is one of three restored locks, close together, and named at the location presumably by the Grantham Canal Society which has its headquarters at the buildings in the image, as Woolsthorpe Top, Middle and Bottom Locks. The Collins  / Nicholson Waterways Guide No.6 however names these locks differently, the one in the image being regarded as Carpenters Shop Lock.

Bridge carrying footpath on north side of Grantham Canal The short bridge carries the canal's towpath across a small stream which also acts as a drain via a 'spillweir' for any excess water of the canal. For a time during the summer of 2022 the bridge was removed so that work could be carried out necessitating a diversion for walkers along the path.

Demarcation line on surface of Grantham Canal The canal here is heading north towards a bend beyond which the route will be heading west. The demarcation line on the water is between a clear surface and complete coverage by duckweed. The day was a windy one and it's assumed that the small floating plants were blown to accumulate that way. The same distribution was seen at number of other locations.
