This, the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal joins the Coventry Canal at Fazeley Junction, a distance of fifteen miles, and including thirty-eight locks, including the Farmer's Bridge flight, the Aston flight, the Minworth flight and the Curdworth flight. The Farmer's Bridge flight of thirteen locks drops the water level by 81 feet (about 25 metres). This image looks down at Lock No 2 from the bridge at the top lock. Also visible are the next two locks before the A457 road crosses the canal. These locks are not correctly marked in the latest (2006-7) Nicholson guides to the waterways.
