Grand Union Canal, looking south towards Bordesley Junction Junction. Behind the unsightly galvanised corrugated iron fence on the left is a car breaker's yard. Industrial buildings on the left have their frontage in Adderley Road, and include the Saltley Industrial Centre. Travelling south, the flight of five Garrison Locks allows a rise of 34ft 5in (10·3 metres). Lock No 62 is the second one up in the flight. Lock No 61 can be seen about 150 metres ahead.
