Stoke Bottom Lock
Image: © Andy Beecroft Taken: 10 Aug 2004
This is the lowest lock of a flight of five on the Trent and Mersey Canal in Stoke. I believe it was rebuilt here in the 1960s when the original line of the canal was moved to accommodate the new road system in the city. This lock has been fabricated out of concrete as opposed to the original which would have been made out of brick/stone.
