In King's Norton Stop Lock, Birmingham
This unusual Guillotine Lock raise and lowers the water by nothing at all! This view was taken from beneath the arch of Bridge No 1 on the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. The bridge crosses the middle of the lock. It is noticeable that the bridge is far wider than it needs to be.
When the canal was planned and started in the mid 1790s the intention was for a wide canal supporting wider than the standard seven foot beam narrowboats. They soon ran out of money building the first few (lockless) miles with wide bridges, and by the time the first stage to Kingswood Junction (with the Warwick and Birmingham Canal - now Grand Union) was open in 1803, the whole idea of a wide canal had been abandoned. All the locks to Stratford (eventually reached by 1815) are narrow.
Therefore, this lock at King's Norton, was put in place after the decision not to accommodate wide boats was taken.

King's Norton lock keeper's house and lock, 1965
Judging from recent photographs of the lock, the house has now gone. If so, a great pity.

McDonald's, Parsons Hill .
This fast food restaurant is situated in the art deco building that was once home to the Cartland Arms public house. The pub was named after the local family which owned land in the area. At least this fine building is still standing and being cared for.
