Just north of Rainbow Hill, this is the Worcester and Birmingham Canal at Gregory's Mill Top Lock (No 6). Two hundred metres away is Astwood Cemetery Bridge (No 14), a former accommodation bridge. Housing estates are now on both sides of the canal and this bridge is not open to traffic. Note: the ground paddles are up, so the lock is filling. There is a boat in the lock, behind the camera.
