Puck Mill Upper Lock

This lock on the Thames & Severn Canal is to the left of the unusual lock keeper's cottage and has an aqueduct underneath over the River Frome. The pound visible in the picture between the two Puck Mill Locks was completely relined with clay in the early 1900s but today it leaks like a sieve and only holds water after exceptionally wet periods. No prizes for guessing what the weather had been like in the days just before this picture was taken!
