There are five locks in the flight at Adderley, altogether changing the water level by thirty-one feet (about nine and a half metres). This is at the top lock, just below Adderley Wharf Bridge (No 69). The gate is open to allow a descending narrowboat to enter the chamber. It is always recommended that gates should be left closed when locks are not in use, to minimise water loss from the pound above.
