Bagnall Lock

Lock No. 13 of the Trent and Mersey Canal with Bridge 49 behind it. The bridge looks as though it is original, so why on earth did they build the lock and bridge so close together that the balance beams have had to be given a 90 degree bend to prevent them fouling the bridge.

Fradley Reservoir

Looking SE across Fradley Reservoir to the bird watching hide. This reservoir was built by the Trent & Mersey Canal Co. in order that water flowing from the lock to the west would bypass the canal junction and be fed back into the T & M canal below the lock to the east. Thus, avoiding gifting the water to the Coventry Canal Co..

This is the point where the north end of the Coventry Canal makes a T-junction with the Trent and Mersey, the actual point of the junction being some distance down on the right, before reaching Junction Lock which is visible in the distance. The 'Swan' public house is seen on the left.
