Atherstone Top Lock and cottage, Warwickshire
Atherstone Top Lock, No 1.
On the Coventry Canal, the Atherstone flight of eleven locks lowers (or raises) 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.

Lock keeper's cottage at Atherstone, Warwickshire
I managed to avoid the overblown hype and forced excitement for most of the week, but not here at Atherstone Top Lock on the Coventry Canal.
Note: The occupant supports England in the 2010 FIFA world cup. We sympathise with his predicament. Eat some chocolate.
