Stratford-upon-Avon Canal near King's Norton, Birmingham
This part of the canal was built in the mid 1790s, though financial problems caused delays before the canal could open as far as Kingswood Junction (with the Grand Union) in 1803. The second stage (to Stratford) did not start until 1812, and was finished by 1815. Initial plans for a wide canal (the reason for the wide bridges and tunnels) were abandoned at an early stage.

Guillotine Lock, King's Norton (East side)
One of the pair of Guillotine locks on the Stratford-on-Avon Canal at King's Norton. The locks are no longer in use but are Grade II* listed buildings. It is a pity that some thoughtless people felt they needed to spray graffiti on it.

King's Norton stop lock
Assuming the other photo direction is correct, mine is on the opposite side of the bridge in the diametrically opposite direction - the pictures are not reversed. This is not a conventional lock with a level change. It is a stop lock to stop water flow and to protect the Stratford Canal from any loss in the Birmingham & Worcester. The Stratford Canal was owned by a separate company. This is a very rare beast and consists of one gate each side of the bridge.

King's Norton Stop Lock
This unique stop lock with two guillotine gates was built to avoid loss of water from the Worcester & Birmingham Canal when the Stratford Canal joined it at King's Norton junction. There are changes since the 1988 photo Image] including the new railing and many more trees, but sadly graffiti remains a common problem.
