North of Parkhead Junction (with Dudley No 2 Canal), the Parkhead flight of three locks provides a rise (or fall) of twenty feet (just over six metres) as the Dudley No 1 Canal continues towards Dudley Tunnel. The tunnel has very restrictive use, so few boats go this way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudley_Tunnel
