Looking north-west towards Etruria. Stoke Bottom Lock is No 36 on the Trent and Mersey Canal north-west of Stoke-on-Trent railway station. The Stoke flight of five locks provides a rise (or fall) of fifty feet (15·25 metres). This lock is slow to fill for some reason, so queues often form. Vernon Road is behind the camera, but prior to the extensive local regeneration there was no bridge adjacent to the lock.
