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.

Weston Road, Aston-on-Trent Aston-on-Trent has a population of about 1,700 (2011 census) making it slightly larger than its neighbour Weston-on-Trent. It is not particularly close to the River Trent, having been established away from the flood plain. In this Sunday lunchtime view traffic cones were in place in connection with the village well-dressing festival which was taking place over the weekend. Wandering around, several of the locals could be heard complaining of a sore head, so it sounds as though a good time was had by all the previous evening.
