Wardle Mews
Apparently a non canal subject for once in this most boaty of squares, but the street is named after nearby Wardle Lock. The canal just over the back of these houses, officially called the Shropshire Union Middlewich Branch is known as the Wardle Canal after the village at the other end.

Wardle Lock, Middlewich (1)
The full-length narrowboat has made the sharp turn through Bridge 168 and is waiting to ascend Wardle Lock. Its empty butty is held on the other side. But the lock is still emptying with a descending boat inside.

Wardle lock
A view of Wardle lock, which drops onto the short Wardle Canal and gives access to the Trent & Mersey Canal beneath the road to Sandbach. This is not the place it was, and it is sad to see Maureen's house so dilapidated and miss her coming out to pass the time of day.

Waiting for Wardle Lock, Middlewich Branch
There are four locks in all on the Middlewich Branch, which fall from the Shropshire Union at Barbridge to the Trent and Mersey at Middlewich. Three of the locks are on the Middlewich Branch proper, but the last one, shown here, was technically part of the Trent and Mersey system, although not on the main line. Curiously this lock is called Wardle Lock - curious because Wardle is actually a village at the OTHER end of the Middlewich Branch! The bridge visible here is No 31.

Wardle Lock, Middlewich (2)
The lock has emptied and a cruiser emerges. Once it has cleared the narrow space and passed under Bridge 168, where the photographer is standing, the narrowboat will enter and ascend the lock. The waiting butty will come up separately afterwards; of course it will have to be roped into and out of the lock.
