Looking down from the Coleshill Road bridge, the area round the top lock (there are 11 altogether in the flight) presents an idyllic canal scene. A narrowboat waits to enter the system while another ascends; to the left the small building is used by the Canal and River Trust and the Top Lock Cottage is on the right. Everything is kept neat and tidy.
