King's Norton Stop Lock
Image: © Jerry Evans Taken: 28 Oct 2008
This unique stop lock with two guillotine gates was built to avoid loss of water from the Worcester & Birmingham Canal when the Stratford Canal joined it at King's Norton junction. There are changes since the 1988 photo Image] including the new railing and many more trees, but sadly graffiti remains a common problem.
