Atherstone Locks No 2, Coventry Canal, Warwickshire
This is second lock of eleven altering the water level by eighty feet (24.4 metres) over about two miles (three kilometres).
As the canal company had run out of money by 1771 when it reached Atherstone on its course from Coventry, these locks and the rest of the route were constructed later, eventually arriving at Fazeley in 1790.

I am by the tail of the top lock and looking down the flight. Note the fake heron by the water issuing from the bypass. Lock No. 2 is seen in the distance.
