The flight of 21 locks from Aldersley Junction to Broad Street Basin in Wolverhampton is generally unrelenting, but the locks are more spread out towards the bottom. There is a fairly long gap between locks 16 and 17, crossed by a railway viaduct; in this view a narrowboat has just emerged from lock 17 on its way up.
