This is in the middle of the ten mile long summit pound of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. Thirty one locks brought it up to this level (a rise of 294 feet, 90 metres) from the River Severn at Stourport. Twelve more locks (starting at Gailey) will drop canal towards the Trent and Mersey Canal at Great Haywood Junction.
